The Versal® devices include two major auxiliary power rails. The auxiliary power rails that are typically associated with the Analog IPs, I/O, or Battery-powered domain are listed in the following table:

Table 1. Auxiliary Power Domain Descriptions
Auxiliary Power Domain Description
PMC/PS Aux Rail (VCCAUX_PMC) This is the Auxiliary supply that is used by the circuitry in the PMC and PS PLLs, I/O, and SysMon. This supply is also used to run the Battery-Powered domain when the device is up. When the device is off, the Battery-Powered circuitry is switched to VCC_BATT. VCCAUX_PMC should be up for the Versal device to boot.
PL Aux Rail (VCCAUX) This Aux supply is used by the PLLs, IO, and Satellite SysMons outside the PS. The core supplies associated with the modules that use this Aux supply can be VCCINT, VCC_SOC, VCC_IO, and VCC_RAM.

Multiple power supplies are required to power a Versal device. The following table describes the logic resources typically available in these devices and their corresponding power supply:

The following table shows the dependency between the mentioned power domains by providing the list of domains that have to be functionally available if a target domain is expected to be functional. A domain is functionally available if it is powered and its reset is released. The powered domains can operate at the voltage levels that are supported by that rail.
