Power Measurement
There are eight power supply rails which have on-board voltage and current sense
capabilities. The power supply rails are split from the primary supply plane by a
low-value sense resistor for the 8-channel differential input 24-bit ADC device to
measure voltage and current. A SPI bus connects the ADC device to the MAX II CPLD
EPM2210 System Controller.
Figure 2–8
shows the block diagram for the power measurement circuitry.
Table 2–45
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.
