37. System Monitor
The ML501 supports both the dedicated and the auxiliary analog inputs to the Virtex-5
FPGA System Monitor block. The VP and VN pins shown in
dedicated pins, whereas the VAUXP[x], VAUXN[x] represent the 16 user-selectable
auxiliary analog input channels. The ML501 PCB layout for the VP and VN pins is
designed using differential pairs and anti-alias filtering in close proximity to the FPGA as
recommended in the Virtex-5 FPGA System Monitor User Guide
circuitry connected to the 16 AUX channels on the ML501 are connected in a non-optimal
fashion as they are implemented without anti-alias filtering at the FPGA. This tradeoff was
made as the AUX channels are also used as general-purpose I/O on the XGI connectors
(see
still available for use with the System Monitor functions, but they will not attain the
performance level of the dedicated analog input as noted in the Virtex-5 FPGA System
Monitor User Guide. Access to the dedicated analog input pairs (VP/VN) is provided
through pins 9 and 10 of the System Monitor Header (J15). See
The Virtex-5 FPGA System Monitor function is built around a 10-bit, 200-kSPS
(kilosamples per second) Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). When combined with a
number of on-chip sensors, the ADC is used to measure FPGA physical operating
parameters like on-chip power supply voltages and die temperatures. Access to external
voltages is provided through a dedicated analog-input pair (VP/VN) and 16 user
selectable analog inputs, known as auxiliary analog inputs (VAUXP[15:0], VAUXN[15:0]).
The System Monitor is fully functional on power up, and measurement data can be
accessed via the JTAG port pre-configuration. The Xilinx
access to the System Monitor over the JTAG port. The System Monitor control logic
implements some common monitoring features. For example, an automatic channel
sequencer allows a user-defined selection of parameters to be automatically monitored,
and user-programmable averaging is enabled to ensure robust noise-free measurements.
The System Monitor also provides user-programmable alarm thresholds for the on-chip
sensors. Thus, if an on-chip monitored parameter moves outside the user-specified
operating range, an alarm logic output becomes active. In addition to monitoring the on-
chip temperature for user-defined applications, the System Monitor issues a special alarm
called Over-Temperature (OT) if the FPGA temperature becomes critical (> 125°C). The
over-temperature signal is deactivated when the device temperature falls below a user-
specified lower limit. If the FPGA power-down feature is enabled, the FPGA enters power
down when the OT signal becomes active. The FPGA powers up again when the alarm is
deactivated.
