Power Requirement Estimate (4 Processor FPGAs, 4 RLDRAMs, 2 Input FPGAs):
-Power consumption per Processor FPGA ~ 12W
-Power consumption per Input FPGA ~ 3 W
-Total Power Consumption Estimate ~ 70-75 W per card
Power Supply Issues
Supply Options per Slot (Front Modules DO NOT draw any +5V current):
1.P2/P0: +5V rated for 18.5/11.5A (20C/70C), total: 57.5W to 92.5W.
2.P0: Vw, Vx, Vy, Vz: at +5V rated each for 4A/3A (20C/70C), total: 60W to 80W.
3.Option 1 and 2 combined: total: 117.5W to 172.5W.
4.P0: Vw, Vx, Vy, Vz: at +15V rated each for 4A/3A (20C/70C), i.e. 180W to 240W total.
