Component Descriptions
Versal Device
[Figure 1, callout 1]
The VEK280 evaluation board is populated with the AMD Versal™ XCVE2802-
2MSEVSVH2802 device, which combines a powerful processing system (PS) and
programmable logic (PL) in the same device. The PS in a Versal device features the
Arm® flagship Cortex®-A72 64-bit dual-core processor and Cortex-R5F dual-core
real-time processor. For additional information on the Versal XCVE2802-
2MSEVSVH2802 device, see the Versal Premium Series Data Sheet: DC and AC
Switching Characteristics (DS959). See the Versal Adaptive SoC Technical Reference
Manual (AM011) for more information about Versal device configuration options.
Encryption Key Battery Backup Circuit
The XCVE2802 device U1 implements bitstream encryption key technology. The
VEK280 board provides the encryption key backup battery circuit shown in the
