All the required power rails for a given device are displayed within the Power Rail Characteristics table. The rails are grouped based on their respective power domains (PMC, LPD, FPD, System, PL, and Battery). Refer Figure 2.

Tip: The color shown for each domain matches that of the power delivery solution as shown in the following figure and it is common across AMD documentation.

The Power Rails table is divided into the following columns:

Voltage
With the exception of VCCO_500, VCCO_501, VCCO_502, and VCCO_503 this column is for reference only. The voltage can only be changed by adjusting the regulator voltage in the Power Delivery Design table. For 50x banks, the desired voltage can be selected here.
Min Voltage, Max Voltage
These columns show the allowed minimum and maximum voltage range for each power rail.
Tip: It is recommended to keep the voltage at the TYP value, because this means that there is a balanced positive and negative range for the power delivery design to cover AC ripple and DC tolerance.
Step Load
Step load is the maximum percentage change of the dynamic current on a given rail.
Tip: Only the VCCINT step load can be altered as this impacts the required numbers of decoupling capacitors, the other rails step loads are fixed.
Static, Dynamic, Total (Read Only)
This is the current requirement for each rail based on the current estimation. It is categorized into Static, Dynamic, Total and Powerup Current (A). Powerup current is only displayed when maximum process is set.
Power Rail Group (Read Only)
This is the power rail group of the power rail, and it is based on the selected power delivery solution. All power rails that are part of the same power rail group are supplied by the same group in the Power Delivery Design table.
