Figure 2–11. PMC Connector
The PMC connector supplies +3.3 V, +5.0 V and ±12. V, as required by the
PCI specification. However, DC power regulators for these supplies
cannot provide enough power to fully satisfy the PCI power specification.
The current that the board can supply through JH1 and JH2 is dependent
on the design configured in the FPGA. As a general guideline, if the PMC
card power requirements exceed the specifications shown in
Table 2–14 ,
you must connect an external power source.
w When connecting an external power supply, the fuse for the
corresponding voltage should be removed from the
development board to prevent the two power supplies from
interfering with each other. Refer to
“Power-Supply Circuitry”
on page 2–44 for more information.
