VCC_1V0 42 1.0 V ±5% 0.3 A
VCC_DDR3L 41 1.35 V/1.5 V ±5% 0.3 A
VCC_1V8 89, 94, 101, 106 1.8 V ±5% 1 A (and max 0.3 A per connector pin)
Table 14: Voltage Supply Outputs
The voltage supply for the DDR3 SDRAM can be set to 1.35 V for low power operation - for details, please
refer to Section 2.14.5.
Warning!
Do not connect any power supply to the voltage supply outputs nor short circuit them to GND, as this
may damage the Mars ZX3 SoC module.
2.10.5 Power Consumption
Please note that the power consumption of any SoC device strongly depends on the application (on the
configured bitstream and I/O activity).
To estimate the power consumption of your design, please use the Xilinx Power Estimator available on the
Xilinx website.
Table 15 lists the power consumption of a Mars ZX3 SoC module, for several applications.
The measurements are based on the reference design using a CPU frequency of 666 MHz, and the DDR3
memory operating in low power mode at 333 MHz.

The maximum available output current depends on your SoC design. See sections 2.10.1 and 2.10.5 for details.
