FPGA Power Supply Margining
The PMBus (IIC), which provides access to the 2 x UDC9240 power controllers, can also be accessed via FPGA I/O in addition to a dedicated header (J3), see Figure

System Monitor ML605 Demonstration Design
The various features described in this section are easily evaluated using a MicroBlaze™ based reference designed provided with the ML605 Evaluation Board. This reference design supports a UART based interface using a terminal program such as Hyperterminal to provide information on the FPGA power supplies, temperature, and power consumption. In addition, the UART interface can be used to margin the FPGA supplies over the PMBus.
The System Monitor functionality can also be accessed at any time via JTAG using the ChipScope Pro Analyzer tool without design modifications or cores inserted into a user design. The ChipScope Pro Analyzer tool automatically connects to the System Monitor via a JTAG cable after a connection is established.
