Power Measurement
There are 16 power supply rails which have on-board voltage and current sense
capabilities. These 8-channel differential 24-bit ADC devices and rails are split from
the primary supply plane by a low-value sense resistor for the ADC to measure
voltage and current. A serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus connects these ADC
devices to the MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller as well as the Stratix IV GX
FPGA.
Figure 2–16
shows the block diagram for the power measurement circuitry.
lists the targeted rails. The schematic signal name specifies the name of the
rail being measured and the device pin specifies the devices attached to the rail. If no
subnet is named, the power is the total output power for that voltage.
