Adds hardware/v2/docs/PRE_PCB_VERIFICATION.md as the single authoritative pre-schematic verification record: RTL/ERR-0025/ regression re-verification, clock/reset, synthesis/P&R re-audit, setup/hold timing status, the real SDRAM datasheet-parameter audit table (Alliance Memory AS4C4M16SA-6TIN Table 17), SPI host bridge protocol documentation, FPGA power/pinout tables, first-board bring-up and benchmark status, and cross-domain consistency audit. Freezes the FPGA configuration flash: Winbond W25Q32JVSSIQ (32Mbit, SOIC-8, 2.7-3.6V, standard SPI, ECP5 Master-SPI-boot compatible) -- this was the one section-11 item the governing mandate required not be left OPEN. Marks CHIP_READINESS.md/OPEN_ITEMS.md/PINOUT.md/CLOCK_ARCHITECTURE.md/ POWER_ARCHITECTURE.md/SCHEMATIC_READINESS.md as superseded (they predate the SPI host bridge, PLL, and this session's SDRAM datasheet audit) with pointers to the new consolidated document, rather than rewriting each individually. Updates the V2 LaTeX datasheet's status/roadmap chapter to reflect the SDRAM datasheet audit and configuration-flash decisions, rebuilds the PDF (clean compile, 16 pages). Classification: PRE-PCB VERIFIED. Schematic and PCB implementation remain user-owned and not started.

FPGA-Neural V2 — POWER ARCHITECTURE
SUPERSEDED. See PRE_PCB_VERIFICATION.md \S11-\S12 for the
current per-bank voltage table (PASS) and current/power budget
status (still OPEN, same real reasons as below). Left in place for
its own detailed real-value derivation.
Status (HISTORICAL framing, current status is in PRE_PCB_VERIFICATION.md): OPEN — component/regulator selection not made this round
Per the governing spec's own "NON inventare valori" rule, this document states what is REALLY known (device-level voltage requirements, from real datasheets/standard ECP5 knowledge) and explicitly marks what has NOT been decided, rather than inventing regulator part numbers or current budgets without real justification.
Required rails (real device requirements)
Corrected from an earlier draft: real ball-level VCC/VCCAUX/VCCIO
data for this exact package DOES exist (docs/pinouts.md, repo root,
sourced from the official Lattice pinout CSV) and is used below rather
than only generic device specs.
| Rail | Nominal voltage | Real balls (CABGA381) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| VCC (core) | 1.1V ±5% | H8,J8,K8,L8,M8,N8,H9,N9,H10,N10,H11,N11,H12,N12,H13,J13,K13,L13,M13,N13 | Real, from docs/pinouts.md |
| VCCAUX | 2.5V ±5% | F6, P6, F15, P15 | Real, from docs/pinouts.md |
| VCCIO0 | 1.2–3.3V (bank 0) | F9, F10 | Real ball pair; bank/signal assignment TBD |
| VCCIO1 | 1.2–3.3V (bank 1) | F11, F12 | Real ball pair |
| VCCIO2 | 1.2–3.3V (bank 2) | H14, H15, J15 | Real |
| VCCIO3 | 1.2–3.3V (bank 3) | L14, L15, M15 | Real |
| VCCIO6 | 1.2–3.3V (bank 6, used by SDRAM) | L6, L7, M6 | Real — SDRAM signals (see PINOUT.md) live in banks 6/7; 3.3V assumed, matching the SDRAM device's own real LVCMOS33 requirement, NOT yet independently cross-verified |
| VCCIO7 | 1.2–3.3V (bank 7, used by SDRAM) | H6, H7, J6 | Real, same note as VCCIO6 |
| VCCIO8 | config bank | P9, P10 | Real — Lattice's own documentation explicitly ties this rail's voltage to whichever configuration interface is used (OPEN, see Configuration decision below) |
| SDRAM VDD / VDDQ | 3.3V | (external chip, not an FPGA ball) | Per the real AS4C4M16SA-6TIN datasheet's own 3.3V industrial-grade part number |
| Configuration supply | 3.3V (typ.) | tied to VCCIO8 | Depends on the configuration-path decision (OPEN, see below) |
VSS/VSSIO (ground) balls: real per docs/pinouts.md's own note — all
must be connected to the ground plane, none left floating (standard
BGA practice, explicitly called out in the source data).
What is NOT decided (OPEN ITEMS)
- Regulator topology/part numbers: not selected. This project's own
memory notes reference a sibling repository (
../basic-ecp5-pcb) with a real, working power tree (TLV62568×2 + TLV73325) as a possible reference — but that repository is not present on disk in this environment (confirmed during this step's own audit), so it cannot be verified or cited as a concrete plan this round. A future step should either locate that reference design or select regulators from scratch against the real current budget below. - Maximum estimated current: not computed. This requires a real power estimate from the actual synthesized netlist (Lattice's own power calculator/estimation tools were not run this session) — NOT invented here. The real, measured resource utilization (TRELLIS_FF= 6425, TRELLIS_COMB=6023, MULT18X18D=32, DP16KD=0 at N=4, POST-P&R, STEP19) is available as an INPUT to such a calculation, but the calculation itself was not performed.
- Decoupling/bulk capacitance: not specified — a schematic-level decision that depends on the final regulator selection above.
- Startup/power sequencing: ECP5 devices generally require VCC and VCCAUX to be sequenced correctly relative to VCCIO and the configuration source per Lattice's own real application notes — this project has not yet consulted or reproduced those real sequencing requirements; flagged as OPEN, not assumed compatible.
Summary
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Real rail voltage requirements (VCC/VCCAUX/VCCIO/SDRAM) identified | Done, from real device specs |
| Regulator selection | OPEN — not made, no real reference design available this session |
| Current budget | OPEN — not computed, would require running a real power-estimation tool |
| Decoupling/bulk capacitance | OPEN — depends on regulator selection |
| Power sequencing verification | OPEN — not yet checked against real Lattice app notes |
