This guide includes high-level information, design guidelines, and design decision trade-offs for the following topics:
- PCB Layout Recommendations
- Provides recommendations for properly planning the device orientation on the board as well as designing the power distribution system (PDS), thermal solution, and printed circuit board (PCB).
- Device Power Aspects and System Dependencies
- Provides considerations to make when planning the PCB to ensure that power and thermal requirements are met, including running power estimation.
- Clock Resource Planning and Assignment
- Provides high-level recommendations for selecting clocking resources.
- I/O Planning Design Flows
- Provides information on different I/O planning flows and recommendations for assigning signals to specific pins to streamline the dataflow through the device.
- Boot and Configuration
- Provides general guidelines for designing the PCB to ensure optimal configuration and debug.
