10.3. Power Sense Line

Arria® 10 devices support the power sense line feature. VCCLSENSE and GNDSENSE pins are differential remote sense pins to monitor the VCC power supply.

Altera recommends connecting the VCCLSENSE and GNDSENSE pins for regulators that support the power sense line feature. The required conditions to connect VCCLSENSE and GNDSENSE lines to the regulator's remote sense inputs are shown below:

  • The VCC or VCCP current is > 30A.
  • The SmartVID feature is used.
