MAXIM001 MGT Module

for Xilinx UltraScale KCU1250 and VCU1287 Evaluation Boards

MAXIM001 MGT Module

The MAXIM001 MGT Module is a proven application
circuit design that provides the MGTAVCCAUX,
MGTAVCC, and MGTAVTT rails for Xilinx’s Ultra­Scale™ Virtex® FPGA multigigibit transceivers. It
contains the connectors that allow it to mate directly
to the Xilinx KCU1250 MGT characterization­evaluation kit. This solution allows the user to
evaluate the MGT performance. The power supplies
are designed to meet the stringent power
requirements necessary to ensure high-quality, high­speed communication over the MGT rails. The
MAXIM001 MGT module power supplies comprise
a MAX20751 DC-DC controller integrated circuit (IC)
and a VT1697SB smart slave.

MAXIM001 MGT Module

Input Voltage

The MAXIM001 is designed to operate with an input voltage between 8.5V and 16V.

Design Requirements

The main power supply requirement for powering MGT rails is a total output voltage ripple less than 10mV. All
three power rails meet the 10mV requirement with an all ceramic output voltage filter. The load transient
requirement of ±3% is achieved. The Xilinx MGT configuration and layout require the MGT Module output
capacitors to be placed on the MGT module rather than near the load on the Xilinx characterization board.
Although this MAXIM001 design meets all MGT rail power requirements, Maxim recommends placing the output
capacitors by the actual load in a customer production design. Doing this improves both output voltage ripple and
load transient response.

Output Voltages

Table 1 shows the preprogrammed output voltages. The output voltages are preset to match the MGT rail
requirements. Note that the 1.8V rail reports an output voltage of 1.5V through the PMBus even though the actual
output voltage is 1.8V. This is normal and is a result of an external voltage divider in the feedback path of this
voltage rail. The actual output voltage is 1.2x the voltage reported through the PMBus.

Table 1. Output Voltages

SMBus Slave Address

Each voltage rail is preconfigured to allow the user to easily select one of two possible PMBus slave addresses.
The ICs power up at the default slave address without user intervention. The user can select the alternate slave
address by grounding the ALT address pin. Refer to the MAX20751 data sheet for more details on setting the IC’s
address. Table 2 shows the SMBus address settings. If changing the default addresses, ensure that each device
on the bus has a different address.

Table 2. SMBus Address Settings

PMBus Telemetry

The MGT Module reports VIN, VOUT, TEMP, IOUT, and POUT through the PMBus. The VOUT reporting
accuracy is 1%, the current reporting accuracy is ±4%

Hardware Connections

The MGT Module contains two connectors that make it compatible with the Xilinx Vertex board. The two boards
mate by simply aligning the connectors and gently pressing the boards together. Ensure that no power is
applied when mating the connectors.
