FPGA power supply lines

Because these devices are very sensitive to VDD transients beyond a few % of their nominal

supply voltage (usually 1.5 V), special attention must be given by supply lines designers to

mitigate possible heavy ion L4913 disturbances. The worst case heavy ion effect can be

summarized as: the L4913 internal control loop being cut (made open) or short-circuited for

a sub-microsecond duration. During such an event, the L4913 die power element can either

provide excessive current or current supply stoppage to the output (VOUT) for a duration of

about one microsecond, after which time the L4913 smoothly recovers to nominal operation.

To mitigate these "transients", it is recommended to implement the L4913 PCB layout as

follows:

●

Minimizing series/parallel parasitic inductances of the PC path

●

Using a low ESR 47 µF Tantalum VOUT filtering capacitor with a 470 nF ceramic

capacitor in parallel with the former (to reduce dynamic ESR)

●

Inserting a 100-200 nH ferrite core on the VOUT-to-tantalum capacitor wire

With this implementation, the ELDO simulated worst transient case shows no more than 90

mV deviation from the nominal line voltage value.
