Description

This reference design is a compact: integrated power design for Altera® MAX® 10 SoC (out of the MAX® series family of products). This design showcases TPS65218 as an all-in-one IC used to supply the rails needed for powering the MAX® 10 SoC. Altera offers a single supply and dual supply solution for the MAX 10. This design is for the MAX 10 dual supply. The total board area needed: including passive components: to supply the power rails to the MAX® 10: is just 1.594 in2. The TPS65218 has the flexibility to support either DDR3L or DDR3 memory. It also integrates 3 load switches allowing external periphereals on the system offsetting power consumption. This design can be run from a single 5V supply or from a single cell Li-Ion battery. It has been tested and verified for industrial applications (-40 °C to 105 °C).
