-The Interposer Canvas is a replaceable and removable prototyping surface intended for using the Analog Discovery Studio with FPGA development boards.  The Interposer Canvas provides a 150-position solderless breadboard and a power rail for prototyping additional circuits.  There is also a small breakout board for V+, V-, 12V+, 12V-, +5V, +3.3V, and Ground.  There are 6 green LED indicators to show the status of power supplies.+The Interposer Canvas is a replaceable and removable prototyping surface intended for using the Analog Discovery Studio with FPGA development boards.  The Interposer Canvas provides a 150-position solderless breadboard and a power rail for prototyping additional circuits.  There is also a small breakout board for V+, V-, +12V, -12V, +5V, +3.3V, and Ground.  There are 6 green LED indicators to show the status of power supplies.

 The Analog Discovery Studio can supply up to 1 Amp of current to the FPGA board through the Interposer Canvas's USB connector. The power budget is shared with the fixed +5V rail on the Interposer Canvas, so the current draw from that rail into custom circuitry may further limit the power available to the FPGA (and vice-versa). If the FPGA board and custom circuitry attempt to draw more current than can be provided by the Analog Discovery Studio, a brown-out event may occur, temporarily turning off the board and returning it to a known good state. The Analog Discovery Studio will continue to operate as normal in this event. The Analog Discovery Studio can supply up to 1 Amp of current to the FPGA board through the Interposer Canvas's USB connector.

-"FIXME (option 1, 2, or 3, will be chosen pending further testing) Important: (1.) When using an external power supply, to ensure that no damage to either device occurs, make sure to connect the ADS's power supply before connecting the power supply to the FPGA board. (2.) Do NOT use an external power supply with your FPGA board while it is connected to the Interposer Canvas, in order to prevent damage that may occur to the devices. (3.) We cut this whole 'important' bit since everything is safe and nothing will break."+

 Since each power supply is sourced directly from the Analog Discovery Studio, the minimum and maximum current and power available for each supply depends on the Analog Discovery Studio's specifications. See the [[..:..:specifications#power_supplies|Analog Discovery Studio Specifications]] for more information. Since each power supply is sourced directly from the Analog Discovery Studio, the minimum and maximum current and power available for each supply depends on the Analog Discovery Studio's specifications.
