Chapter 1: ML605 Evaluation Board
ML605 Board Power Monitor
In addition to monitoring the FPGA core supply power consumption, two auxiliary analog
input channels (of the 16 that are available) are used to implement a power monitor for the
entire ML605 board. The board power is monitored at the 12V power input connector.
Figure 1-31 shows how the power monitor is implemented and connected to the System
Monitor auxiliary input channels 12 and 13. A simple resistor divider is used to monitor
the 12V supply voltage and to provide a reference voltage to an instrumentation amplifier
(InAmp). The voltage on the auxiliary channel 12 is equal to supply voltage divided by 24
(~ 0.5V).
The InAmp is used to amplify (by a factor of 50) the voltage dropped across a 2 milliohm
current sense shunt. The voltage at the output of the InAmp is proportional to the current.
The voltage on auxiliary channel 13 = Current (amps) x 0.002 x 50. (e.g., 5A = 0.5V).
