technology. These voltage banks are not all required for general use of ProASIC3 silicon. They are provided purely for
illustrative purposes.
To use the ProASIC3/E Evaluation board with a wall mount power supply, use the switching brick power supply that is
provided with the kit.
The external +9 V positive center power supply provided to the board via connector J16 goes to a voltage regulator chip
U11 on the evaluation board. As soon as the external voltage is connected to the board, the red power applied LED (the
only red LED on the board) D19 illuminates to indicate that an external supply has been connected to the board. As
soon as switch SW11 is moved to the ON position (to the right, as labeled on the board “OFF/ON”), the disabling
ground signal is removed from pin 7 of U11 and the regulator begins to provide power at its output.
The U11 switching voltage regulator provides a dedicated 3.3 V supply at its output. The board’s 3.3 V supply is used for
feeding separate regulators that deliver 1.5 V (via U15), 1.8 V (via U12) and 2.5 V (via U15). The 1.5 V is required for
the core voltage of the ProASIC3 family, and the 2.5 V is required for demonstrating LVDS extended I/O bank
capability.
The presence of these voltages is indicated by four green LEDs (D13, D9, D10, and D11 respectively) illuminating at
the top right of the board. Each LED is labeled with the voltage it represents and its component identifier. All four
voltages are selectable on the I/O banks 4 and 5 (the two southernmost banks on a ProASIC3E device).
Note:
The 3.3 V supply is also used for optionally providing the V
provided to the chip during programming by applying a FlashPro3 programmer to the J1 interface and selecting V
from the FlashPro v3.3 (or later) programming software. V

Simply leave the JP48 jumper in place to apply the 3.3 V supply to the V
Note that if both FlashPro3 and the board are selected to provide V
override, as FlashPro3 will detect that a voltage is available, issue an information message in the programming software,
and then move the V
Only ProASIC3E devices have 8 I/O banks. ProASIC3 devices have four I/O banks—one per side of the PQ208
