TPSM846C23: Output capacitors consolidation

Part Number: TPSM846C23

Hello,

I want to use TPSM846C32 for Xilinx Zynq FPGA (XCZU4CG).

The datasheet of power module says: the minimum required output capacitance network consists of four 47-μF (or two 100μF) ceramic capacitors plus two 470-μF.

On the Zynq side, I have numerous rails (VCCINT, VCCINT_IO, VCCBRAM, ...), each requiring proper decoupling capacitors, that I consolidated into one 0.85V rail.

My question is, if the caps required by FPGA, exceed numbers required by TPSM, do I need to have both caps required by TPSM and FPGA or can I treat them as one capacitance?

If so, does this depend on the distance between TPSM and load? In my case the distance is small - TPSM will be adjacent to FPGA.

I googled a bit but didn't find anything conclusive.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,
Karol

  • Yes, the capacitance required by the FPGA can be included in the minimum capacitance of the power supply. You can treat them as one capacitance. The fact that the power supply is near to the load is ideal. This will help minimize any losses for this supply.
