Power Conversion

FPGAs require careful power management. In the case of FPGAs with multiple rails, each rail has its own voltage and power requirements. Maxim meets the power needs of today's FPGAs with our switching regulators, switching controllers, and power management ICs (PMICs). To aid in design, Maxim also provides evaluation kits and complete power circuits for FPGAs from select major manufacturers. View our FPGA power page.

Power Management

In addition to providing the necessary voltage rails, FPGA designers must ensure that the rails are properly synchronized and monitored for power faults. Maxim's programmable multichannel power management supervisors meet these design needs. Choose from a wide range of sequencers and voltage trackers.

Security

Your FPGA design contains valuable intellectual property. We understand the need to keep it safe. Secure your design without sacrificing valuable FPGA logic and processing resources with Maxim's secure authenticators.

Prototyping Modules

Many FPGA prototyping module boards are available with standard Pmod™ pinouts. Maxim offers a set of Pmod modules with popular I/O functions, such as analog-to-digital conversion, digital-to-analog conversion, and RS-232 interfaces.

Port Expansion

I/O is frequently restricted on an FPGA design. Maxim's port expansion products offer an easy way to free up I/O on your FPGA without using valuable internal resources or additional pins.

I/O

For designs requiring analog-to-digital conversion, prototype with our Pmod modules and then choose the ideal solution from our wide selection of data converters.
In addition, Maxim's provides a selection of USB products to meet your needs for USB logic, switches, and power.
