====== USB Powering ====== Most [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-2/|Sereies 2 FPGA Boards]] can be powered via USB. Whether the bus deliver sufficient current depends form the application the memory usage (RAM and controller take about 1W) and the USB specification. Whether / how USB powering is supported is listed in the following table ^ FPGA Board ^ Power source selection ^ comments ^ | [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-2/usb-fpga-2.18.e.html|USB-FPGA Module 2.18]] | no | USB powering not supported | | [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-2/usb-fpga-2.16.e.html|USB-FPGA Module 2.16]] | no | USB powering not supported | | [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-2/usb-fpga-2.14.e.html|USB-FPGA Module 2.14]] | automatically | USB 3.0 standard delivers sufficient power for small applications including RAM | | [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-2/usb-fpga-2.13.e.html|USB-FPGA Module 2.13]] | by soldering a 0Ω resistor | not recommended because USB 2.0 standard does not guarantee sufficient power | | [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-2/usb-fpga-2.04.e.html|USB-FPGA Module 2.04]] | by soldering a 0Ω resistor | not recommended because USB 2.0 standard does not guarantee sufficient power | | [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-2/usb-fpga-2.01.e.html|USB-FPGA Module 2.01]] | by jumper | USB 2.0 usually deliver sufficient power |
