Overview

Arora V series of FPGA products integrate eight-channel 10 bits Delta-sigma ADC. It is an ADC with low power, low-leakage current, and high dynamic performance. When combined with the programmable logic capability of the FPGA, the sensor can address the data acquisition and monitoring requirements for by chip internal temperature and power monitoring. FPGA also provides rich and freely configurable GPIO differential interfaces and ADC analog differential signal interfaces to connect to the ADC voltage channels, which can meet the voltage data sampling and monitoring requirements.

Features

The main features of Arora V ADC are as follows:

• Number of ADC:
  • GW5A-25/ GW5AR-25/ GW5AS-25: 1
  • GW5A-138/ GW5AT-138/ GW5AT-75/ GW5AST-138: 2
• Reference voltage source: Built-in
• Number of channels per ADC: 8
• Bit width accuracy: 10 bits
• Sampling Clock: < 2MHz
• ADC differential input voltage range: 0~1V (positive input voltage > negative input voltage)
• Temperature sensor accuracy: +/-2℃
• Voltage sensor accuracy: +/-5mV

Functional Description

Overview

Arora V ADC provides analog Delta-sigma modulators to meet the requirements of on-chip temperature and voltage detection in multiple regions, and also provides GPIO differential interfaces for off-chip voltage and temperature input, only supporting differential signal input (Positive input voltage > Negative input voltage).

Arora V ADC has embedded reference voltage source with high accuracy, and it does not require off-chip voltage reference source; Arora V ADC features low power and high accuracy for temperature and supply voltage detection. Arora V ADC has an internally integrated voltage signal processing module, so no external voltage reference source is required. It meets the accuracy of voltage signal measurements and helps to reduce user costs.

Architecture

Figure 2-1 shows the structure diagram of GW5A-25 / GW5AR-25 / GW5AS-25 ADC.

GW5A-25 / GW5AR-25 / GW5AS-25 ADC supports on-chip temperature and voltage detection. Through the control signal, you can select the voltage from the on- chip temperature sensor to enter the on-chip temperature detection mode; or you can select another path to monitor the power supply voltage of IP modules in the FPGA, including bank voltage, core voltage, and SRAM voltage, etc. The off-chip voltage signals can be sent to the ADC via the GPIO differential pins on
Bank0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7 or the dedicated ADC differential input pins for ADC quantization.
For GW5A-25 / GW5AR-25 / GW5AS-25 ADC, you can select UserLogic clock or OSC clock to obtain a better balance between power and performance.
The voltage signal into the Delta sigma modulator0 is quantized and noise- shaped to output adc_1bit0 and adc_clk0, which can be sent to the embedded CIC hard core or CIC soft core for further processing to obtain the digital characterization of temperature and voltage.

GW5A-138/GW5AT-138/GW5AT-75/GW5AST-138 offers two ADCs. Figure 2-2 shows the structure diagram.

GW5A-138/GW5AT-138/GW5AT-75/GW5AST-138 supports on-chip temperature and voltage detection. Through the control signal, you can select the voltage from the on-chip temperature sensor to enter the on-chip temperature detection mode; or you can select another path to monitor the power supply voltage of IP modules in the FPGA, including Bank2/3/4/5/6/7/10 voltage, core voltage, MIPI and SERDES voltage, etc. The off-chip voltage signals can be sent to the ADC via the GPIO differential pins on Bank2/3/4/5/6/7 or the dedicated ADC differential input pins for ADC quantization.

For GW5A-138/GW5AT-138/GW5AT-75/GW5AST-138 ADC, you can select user logic clock IO, GPIO clock or OSC clock to obtain a better balance between power and performance.

The voltage signal into the Delta_sigma modulator1/Delta_sigma modulator2 is quantized and noise-shaped to output adc_1bit1/adc_1bit2 and adc_clk1/adc_clk2. They can be sent to the embedded CIC hard core for further processing to obtain the digital characterization of temperature and voltage.

In addition, the 138K ADC supports two pairs of dedicated ADC differential input interfaces: adcvp/adcvn, adctp/adctn, providing users with a low- latency, low-noise differential voltage input channel.

ADC Characteristics

ADC Conversion Timing

There are N clock cycles needed for the ADC to sample analog input signals, convert them to output digital signals, and then generate the output signals. When the rising edge of the sensor_req signal comes, and the sensor_en signal is enabled (active-high), the ADC will be triggered to sample once; when the sensor measurement is finished, it will pull the sensor_rdy signal high to indicate the completion of sampling and output the sampling value of sensor_value[13:0].

In voltage measurement mode, the output value of sensor_value is an unsigned number (sensor_value [13:11] for the integer part and sensor_value [10:0] for the fractional part), which needs to be divided by 2048 to get the actual measured value in V.

In temperature mode, the output value of sensor_value is a signed number (sensor_value [13] for the sign bit, sensor_value [12:2] for the integer part and sensor_value [1:0] for the fractional part), which needs to be divided by 4 to get the actual measured value in℃.

ADC Configuration and Call

You can click “Tools > IP Core Generator” in Gowin Software to call and configure ADC.
The following description takes the GW5A-25 ADC call as an example.

ADC Configuration

The ADC configuration interface is shown in Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1 ADC Configuration

Generation Files

After ADC configuration, it will generate three files that are named after the “File Name”. Take the default configuration as an example:

• “gowin_adc.v” file is a complete Verilog module to generate instance Gowin_ADC;
• “gowin_adc_tmp.v” is a template file for IP designs;
• “gowin_adc.ipc” file is an IP configuration file for users to load and configure the IP.

Note!
If VHDL is selected as the hardware description language, the first two files will be named with .vhd suffix.
