6.9. Board Power Supply
This section describes the Arria® 10 GX FPGA development board’s power supply. A laptop style DC power supply is provided with the development kit. Use only the supplied power supply. The power supply has an auto sensing input voltage range of 100–240 VAC and outputs 12 VDC power at 16 A to the development board. The 12 VDC input power is then stepped down to various power rails used by the board components.
An onboard multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) measures both the voltage and current for several specific board rails. The power utilization is displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) that can graph power consumption versus time.
