TF360 Power Supply Discussion

[8 Bit Dreams]

I just checked the 68060 datasheet. It recommends 2A @ 3.3v... :/

don't forget about CF's - it hangs on the TF360 card, and needs about 0,3 - 0,4A
in other hand, it is connected to the 5V rail...

Ok, what about these:

or a good proven LM style?

Stephen,
grab this one for testing purposes:

or
https://www.digikey.de/product-detail/d ... ND/9433342
if You plan to integrate it on board - easy to do!

EDIT
checked pictures of WARP540/560 accelerators - there are several solutions
1. 2x D-Pack's (seems it's for 040 CPUs)
2. onboard LM2596 replacement (switching type)

This one looks very promising..

have checked Warp540 power rails and how they solved it, they implemented power supply on PCB
D-Pack is a no go

I like this one... very interesting.

So my take on this might be to evaluate a bunch of different solutions with the current rev0 board and see what happens.

Although i'm leaning towards what @exxos posted I thought that the ISL line of chips might be worth a look. They're used in Macbook Air and Macbook Pro's from what i can tell. (not this specific chip though)

There's millions of the things from various manufacturers. That particular one you posted needs a external coil. I went with external coil as I wanted to experiment, while it was a squash on my board, the cost per part is also a factor. That one I suggested was one I found on texas, I tend to use their parts in general. I didn't check any other sites.

mouser do a evm so you could just get that to play with...

Yes, indeed You are right..

Well, LM78XX installed now is to weak, that's for sure, this may be a reason for hangs and instabilities.
I recommend to buy an external 5A DC-DC converter and do measurements to see how much current card needs, then add about 1 - 1,5A just to be sure, and then look around what we can get, that's the plan..

It's too expensive...

Its a demo board....
