The Platform MCU (PMCU) enumerates the SYZYGY ports and determines the power
needs of each Zmod installed in the system. The 5V power budget of the Eclypse is
then determined based on the needs of each Zmod, as well as the USB OTG VBUS,
RGB LEDs, and Fan. Table 1.2.2 describes the 5V power budget of the Eclypse Z7 in
more detail.

The two SYZYGY ports share a budget of 2A from the 3.3V supply. The two Pmod ports
share a budget of 0.5A, which is allocated to the SYZYGY ports if no Pmods are
installed.
Due to the requirements of the custom power sequencer (IC29), Digilent recommends
that peripheral modules (Pmods and Zmods) attached to and powered by the Eclypse
meet the specifications described in Table 1.2.3.
