An external power supply can be used by plugging it into the power jack (J27). The supply must use a coax, center-positive
2.1mm internal-diameter plug, and deliver 12VDC ±5 %. The minimum current rating of the supply depends on the actual
design implemented in the FPGA, but at least 3A (i.e., at least 36W) is recommended. For high-power FMC applications a 60W
supply is recommended.
Voltage regulator circuits from Linear Technology create the different voltages required by the FPGA and on-board peripherals
from the main power input. Some regulators use the outputs of another regulator as input, depending on design considerations.
In some cases this chaining helps in creating the proper power-on sequence for circuits. In other cases the chaining of power
supply enables achieves the same purpose.
Table 2 provides information on maximum and typical currents for each power rail. The typical currents strongly depend on
FPGA configuration and the values provided are the current consumption of the OOB demo.

The VADJ power rail requires special attention. It is an adjustable rail that powers the FMC mezzanine connector, user push-
buttons, switches, XADC Pmod connector and the FPGA banks connected to these peripherals (banks 15, 16, 17). The
feedback pin of the VADJ regulator is connected to a resistor network modifiable by jumper JP6. Changing its position
changes the resistor divider in the feedback loop, thereby changing the voltage on the regulator's output. The possible voltages
