Chapter 1: ML630 Board Features and Operation

Monitoring Voltage and Current

Voltage and current monitoring and control are available for all power rails except the
fixed 3.3V through Texas Instruments' Fusion Digital Power graphical user interface (GUI).
All onboard TI power controllers are wired to the same PMBus. The PMBus connector, J7,
is provided for use with the TI GPIO Interface Adapter (PMBus pod) and associated TI
Fusion Digital Power GUI.

FPGA U1 and U2

Figure 1-2
The ML630 board hosts two Virtex-6 XC6VHX565T-2FFG1924C FPGAs. This FPGA
provides six four-quad GTH and twelve four-quad GTX high speed interfaces.

Board Power and Switch

Figure 1-2
The ML630 board is powered through two 4-pin DIN right angle type connectors J122 and
J75 using the two 12V 15A AC-to-DC adapters included with the board.
Power can also be provided through J141 and J102 ATX hard disk type 4-pin power
connectors. The DIN4 J122 and ATX J141 connectors are wired in parallel, as are J75 and
J102.
Note:
ML630 AC adapters. The two adapters can then be turned on and off simultaneously via the power
bar on-off switch.
When the 12V AC adapters are plugged into the ML630 board and turned on via the
multiple outlet AC power strip, 12 VDC is applied to the ML630 12V power planes, and
green LED indicators (DS36 and DS49) adjacent to each DIN4 power connector illuminate.
The ML630 board U1 and U2 FPGA power regulators are turned on and off by the "soft"
slide switch, SW1. When this switch is in the ON position, power is applied to the FPGAs
and the green LEDs adjacent to each active regulator illuminate.
The FPGA U1 and part of FPGA U2 power system block diagram is shown in
The circuit details may be found on the schematic pages 8 and 51 through 67 as noted in the
various function blocks.

Caution!
Only use two power supplies of the same type. Power the ML630 board through two
connectors at the same time (J122 and J75 or J141 and J102, depending on power supply type).
Do NOT apply power to all four power input connectors J122/J75 and J141/J102 at the same
time. Doing so may damage the ML630 board and void the board warranty.
