Powering Stratix IV Dev kit via HSMC

Sorry. My mistake.

I am using Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Kit

The 230 edition.

http://www.altera.co.uk/products/devkits/altera/kit-siv-gx.html

In the reference manual, page 2-63 (pdf page 71) shows the 12V and 3.3V rails are directly connected to the hsmc.

I checked the schematic as well. Everything seems ok to me except for 1 thing.

The power measurement circuitry uses 12V_out (from the DC jack) and 12V to HSMC

(Labels from schematic. Page 21).

And these are connected to LTC4151. A power measurement IC. (ADC with a i2c interface).

page 25 of schematic.

The i2c interface goes to the EPM2210 System Controller.

I don't know whether the system controller would trigger an auto-shutdown when/if detecting current flowing in the opposite direction..

Thanks
