Status Registers

The first 64 address locations (DADDR[6:0] = 

00h

 to 

3Fh

) contain the status registers that 

are Read-Only and cannot be initialized when System Monitor is instantiated in a design. 
The status registers contain the results of an analog-to-digital conversion of the on-chip 
sensors and external channels. All sensors and external analog-input channels have a 
unique channel address (see 

Table 7, page 19

). The measurement result from each channel 

is stored in a status register with the same address on the DRP. 

For example, the result from an Analog-to-Digital Conversion on ADC multiplexer 
channel 0 (temperature sensor) is stored in the Status Register at address 

00h

. The result 

from ADC mux channel 1 (V

CCINT

) is stored at address 

01h

The status registers also store the maximum and minimum measurements recorded for the 
on-chip sensors from the chip power-up or the 

last user reset

 of the System Monitor logic. 

See 

Table 3

 for a list of the status registers and definitions.
