Power Integrity Effects on Signal Integrity in FPGA Systems – Measurements and Analysis Using an FPGA Configured Vector Network Analyzer
BUENAVENTURA ED/CAS CHAPTER
Power integrity issues may create intermittent failures and signal integrity degradation in FPGA systems. This talk starts with fundamental concepts of power integrity and signal integrity and presents a novel method for power integrity analysis in FPGA systems by configuring the FPGA to function as a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) test instrument for its own power delivery network (PDN). This VNA measures the impedance profile of the PDN as seen by the logic circuits on the FPGA die and extracts an S-parameter model of the FPGA PDN, that includes the PDN elements on the FPGA die, FPGA package, and PCB. The S-parameter model is then used in circuit simulations to evaluate the power supply noise in the FPGA and the signal integrity in the FPGA I/O serial data links.
