Power Measurement

There are 12 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 SPI bus connects these ADC devices to the MAX II CPLD
EPM2210 System Controller.

Figure 2–10

shows the block diagram for the power measurement circuitry.

Table 2–53

lists the targeted rails. The schematic signal name column specifies the

name of the rail being measured and the device pin column specifies the devices
attached to the rail. If no subnet is named, the power is the total output power for that
voltage.
