1.2.6. Voltage Sensor and Voltage Reference Pins

Note: Altera recommends that you create an Quartus® Prime design, enter your device I/O assignments, and compile the design. The Quartus® Prime software will check your pin connections according to I/O assignment and placement rules. The rules differ from one device to another based on device density, package, I/O assignments, voltage assignments, and other factors that are not fully described in this document or the device user guides.
Table 7.  Voltage Sensor and Voltage Reference Pins
Pin Name Pin Functions Pin Description Connection Guidelines
VREFP_ADC Input Dedicated precision analog voltage reference.

Tie the VREFP_ADC pin to an external 1.25 V accurate reference source (± 0.1%) for better ADC performance.

Treat the VREFP_ADC as an analog signal together with the VREFN_ADC signal that provides a differential 1.25 V voltage.

If no external reference is supplied, always connect the VREFP_ADC pin to GND. An on-chip reference source (± 2%) is activated if the external voltage reference source is disabled.

VREFP_ADC must be equal to or lower than VCCA_PLL to prevent damage

VREFN_ADC Input

Tie the VREFN_ADC pin to the GND for better ADC performance.

Treat VREFN_ADC as an analog signal together with the VREFP_ADC signal that provides a differential 1.25 V voltage.

If no external reference is supplied, always connect the VREFN_ADC pin to GND.

VSIGP_[0,1] Input Analog differential inputs pins used with the voltage sensor inside the FPGA to monitor external analog voltages.

Tie these pins to GND if you do not use the voltage sensor feature. For more information on the usage of these pins, refer to the Power Management User Guide: Agilex™ 5 FPGAs and SoCs .

Do not drive the VSIGP and VSIGN pins until the VCCADC power rail has reached 1.62 V to prevent damage.
