4.11.3. Current Measurement

To demonstrate low power feature, Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA power rails are isolated with resistors for voltage drop measurement either manually or automatically.

VCCINT, VCCA and VCCIO_3.3V supports automatic current measurement. The voltage drop across sense resistors are connected to Intel® MAX® 10 integrated ADC with current sense amplifiers. Refer to the figure below.

The selected Intel® MAX® 10 10M08SA-U169 contains one ADC with 9 analog input channels. Three channels are used for Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA current measurement and six channels are used for Arduino analog.

Other Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA power rails support manual measurement by measure voltage drop across sensing resistors with a multi-meter.
