Temperature Sensor

The Pico E-15 contains one temperature sensor that directly senses the die temperature of the Virex-4 FPGA. The digital interface of the remote temperature sensing chip is connected to the Cypress PSoC. If an overtemperature condition occurs, the PSoC will shutdown the FPGA until the temperature has dropped sufficiently below the shutdown threshold.

The setpoints of the temperature shutdown circuit can be reprogrammed via the PSoC debug cable.
