Reading ADC

[AlexSilva]

Hello everyone,

I've bought a Zybo Z7 with a XC7Z010. I can see on the schematics that the pin 19 (IMON) of the IC26 (TPS25940ARVC) is connected to the pin K9 (VP_0) of the SoC. A resistor from this pin to GND converts current IMON to proportional voltage, used as analog current monitor.

So the question is: what do I have to do to read this voltage? I'd like to be able to read it and display it on the terminal after SSH'ing into the board.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @AlexSilva,

You need to incorporate the XADC IP Core into your design using vp/vn as described in the reference manual in section 1.4 Current Monitoring. Here is a forum thread that has a completed xadc design using the zedboard which has a zynq processor that should be a good reference for your design.

thank you,

Jon

Thank you very much @jpeyron

I'm going to try that and let you know the outcome.
