How many external power supplies are required for the Intel MAX 10 devices?
The number of external power supplies required for the Intel MAX 10 devices depends on the power supply device option chosen.
For single-supply devices, only one external power supply of either 3.0 V or 3.3 V is required. This external power supply is used to power the core of the FPGA and is regulated internally to 1.2 V, which is required for core logic operation.
For dual-supply devices, two external power supplies are required. One power supply of 1.2 V is needed for the device core logic, and another power supply of 2.5 V is needed for periphery operation.
It is important to note that the choice of power supply device option will affect the core and I/O performance of the device. Single-supply devices have lower performance compared to dual-supply devices.
For more detailed information on power supply options and their characteristics, please refer to the Intel MAX 10 Power Management User Guide.
