Versal devices that are graded as -2LI and -2LLI parts need their supplied VCCINT voltage adjusted dynamically based on the operating junction temperature. The Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) of VCCINT power rail allows these parts to operate in the defined industrial temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. When the junction temperature falls below 10°C, the VCCINT voltage needs to be raised to 0.725V. When the temperature reaches 25°C, the VCCINT voltage can be lowered to 0.7V. The following diagram depicts the expected voltage vs. junction temperature change:
The junction temperature of Versal devices is measured by SysMon and can be obtained from its internal register (DEVICE_TEMP_MAX) or from its I/O interface. PLM firmware has support to apply DVS of VCCINT power rail for the -2LI and 2LLI parts. In order to leverage that support in PLM, the board design needs to use an I2C controllable voltage regulator module (VRM) for generating VCCINT. The I2C controller of the PMC is utilized to control the external VRM. PLM monitors the internal register of the SysMon and based on the current junction temperature, it adjusts the external VRM through its I2C connection.
When enabled, PLM reads the DEVICE_TEMP_MAX register periodically (every 100 msec) and adjusts the VCCINT. Information on the upper and lower temperatures and voltages governing the algorithm needs to be provided to PLM through the CDO file. Inclusion of this CDO file in building the bootable image (PDI) enables the DVS feature in PLM. The CDO should contain two sets of information: how to reach and modify the VOUT of the external VRM, and what are the temperature and voltage thresholds. The following CDO entries are relevant to VCK190 Evaluation Board and they indicate to PLM on how VCCINT regulator on board can be accessed:
