Xilinx Test Solutions

ProGrAnalog introduces off the shelf power delivery test tools to quickly evaluate, characterize and validate power delivery schemes for AMD Versal™ AI Core Series devices.

AMD Xilinx: An introduction

AMD Xilinx Versal AI core FPGAs push performance to the next level. Although the performance per watt is best in class, the need for higher supply currents, higher current load steps, lower voltages and tighter regulation requirements is even greater.

About ProGrAnalog Xilinx Power Test Adapters

AMD Xilinx Versal AI core Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) push performance to the next level. Although the performance per watt is best in class, the need for higher supply currents, higher current load steps, lower voltages and tighter regulation requirements is even greater.

The ProGrAnalog Xilinx Power Test Adapters are Form Factor Equivalent Devices (FFED) that were developed to quickly evaluate, characterize and validate power delivery schemes for AMD/Xilinx Versal™ AI Core Series and Versal Premium AIE devices. This enables the designers to stress test the power delivery circuitry before fitting the FPGA.

ProGrAnalog Xilinx Power Test Adapters are Ball Grid Array (BGA) adapter boards that assist in testing and validating the Power Delivery Network for AMD Xilinx FPGAs. The Power Test Adapters are designed to be used in conjunction with one of the LoadSlammer Remote Sense Kits. These Power Test Adapters each feature 6 Samtec connectors and subminiature push-on (SMP) mini connectors for connection to test equipment. The Power Test Adapters are designed with a BGA footprint that reflows onto the PCB pads of a test board. A graphic user interface (GUI) supports pulse train, transient, impedance, and 3D plots.
