Software Support
The PLTW S7 is fully compatible with the high-performance Vivado® Design Suite versions 2018.1 and newer. It is
supported under the free WebPACK™ installation option, which does not require a license, so designs can be
implemented at no additional cost. This free installation includes the ability to create MicroBlaze™ soft-core
processor designs.
The PLTW S7 can be used with Vivado 2017.4, but WebPACK installations of this version of Vivado may not contain
the device files for the Spartan-7 FPGA used on the PLTW S7. See this Xilinx Answer Record for more information,
and for a solution.
Functional Description
1 Power Supplies
The PLTW S7 uses a Linear Technologies LTC3569 triple output buck power regulator to generate the needed
voltages for the onboard components. It is connected as shown in Figure 1.1. The characteristics of the outputs are
shown in Table 1.1.
