Power Measurement
There are 16 power supply rails that have on-board voltage, current, and wattage
sense capabilities using 24-bit differential ADC devices. Precision sense resistors split
the ADC devices and rails from the primary supply plane for the ADC to measure
voltage and current. A SPI bus connects these ADC devices to the MAX II CPLD
EPM2210 System Controller as well as the Arria V GT FPGA.
Figure 2–13 shows the block diagram for the power measurement circuitry.
Table 2–36 lists the targeted rails. The schematic signal name column specifies the
name of the rail being measured while 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.
