Measuring the SmartFusion2 Core Current (VCC1V2 net) on the M2S-FG484 Starter Kit |
|
In order to measure the SmartFusion2 core current (VCC1V2 net) on the M2S-FG484 Starter Kit, do the following:
- Remove R46 on the M2S-FG484 SOM board.
- Depending on a used tool, do one of the following:
- Using a voltmeter: Solder a current sense resistor on the R46 pads. Resistor value must be no higher than 0.1 Ohm. Connect the voltmeter to TP1 (+) and TP2 (-).
- Using an amperemeter: Connect the amperemeter securily to the R46 pads or the test points TP1 (+) and TP2 (-).
