According to the product page (schematic below) for the Zybo Z7 series from Digilent, Inc. the recommended power source is an external power supply with a barrel jack connector. The supply must use a center-positive 2.1 mm internal-diameter plug and deliver between 4.5 - 5.5 VDC and should also be able to output at least 2.5 A (12.5 W).

You can also power the Zybo Z7 from the USB programming port (J12) but the Zybo Z7 often requires more current than the 0.5A that is allowed by a USB 2.0 device. If this is exceeded many USB hosts will begin to drop the voltage briefly until the Zybo Z7 resets which drops the current to an acceptable range.


 

Barrel Jack
For barrel-jack connector options, you can use 300-031 (DK PN 1286-1060-ND) to power your Zybo Z7 board. This power supply has the recommended ratings of 5V, 2.5A and has a 2.1mm internal-diameter plug. This power supply also comes with EU and U.S. plug adapters.
