Power and Power Management
110118-0001A 45
The following diagram illustrates the architecture of the BitsyXb power management system. At
the heart of the system is a power controller that controls the state of the various power
subsystems of the BitsyXb. Under control of the processor, this controller can manage most of the
power distribution of the board. The PowerEnable signal controls the rest of the subsystems.

In the diagram, the power management modes of each of the subsystems are indicated in gray.
Arrows indicate the direction of both signal flow and of power management.

The controller inverts the PowerEnable signal for use with some subsystems. This detail is not
shown in the diagram.
