A laptop style DC power supply is provided with the development kit. Use only the
supplied power supply. The power supply has an auto sensing input voltage of 100 ~
240 V AC power and will output 12 V DC power at 20 A to the development board. The
12 V DC input power is then stepped down to various power rails used by the board
components.
An on-board multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) measures both the
voltage and current for several specific board rails. The power utilization is displayed
on a graphical user interface (GUI) that can graph power consumption versus time.
A.13.1. Power Guidelines
The Intel Agilex I-Series FPGA development kit has two modes of operation as
described below.
In a Standard PCIe-Compliant System
In this mode, plug the board into an available PCI Express* slot and connect the
standard 2x4 power cords available from the PC's ATX power supply to J11 on the
board. The PCIe slot together with the auxiliary PCIe power cords are required to
power the entire board. If you do not connect the 2x4 auxiliary power connection, it
will prevent the board from powering on.
Figure 37. Powering Board Using Standard PCIe-Compliant System
As a Standalone Evaluation Board Powered by Included Power Supply
In this mode, plug the included power supply into the 2x4 pin connector (J11) and the
AC power cord of the power supply into a power outlet. This power supply will provide
the entire power to the board without the need to obtain power from the PCIe slot.
The power switch SW6 controls powering of the board.
