Reference Manual
An on-board multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) measures both the
voltage and current for several specific board rails. The power utilization is displayed
using a GUI that can graph power consumption versus time.
Power Distribution System
Figure 2–7
shows the power distribution system on the development board. The
currents shown are conservative absolute maximum levels and reflects the regulator
inefficiencies and sharing.
