6.6. The Power Monitor

The Power Monitor measures and reports current power information and communicates with the Intel® MAX® 10 device on the board through the JTAG bus. A power monitor circuit attached to the Intel® MAX® 10 device allows you to measure the power that the FPGA is consuming.

To start the application, click the Power Monitor icon in the Board Test System application. You can also run the Power Monitor as a stand-alone application. The PowerMonitor.exe resides in the <package dir>\examples\board_test_system directory.

CAUTION:
You cannot run the stand-alone power application and the BTS application at the same time.
Figure 22. The Power Monitor

This window displays Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP current monitors.

Current shows the current value of each power rail:
  • 3.3 V VCCIO
  • 2.5 V VCCA
  • 1.2 V VCCINT

Voltage shows the typical voltage value of each power rail. It is not read from ADC.

Update Speed allows you to select how often the display updates the values:

  • Slow—every 2 seconds
  • Medium—every 500 ms
  • Fast (default)—every 100 ms
