The notable differences between the PS SYSMON and the PL SYSMON are the programming bus interfaces, sampling rates, and analog input signal sources. The differences are listed in Table: PS SYSMON and PL SYSMON Comparison.

None.

16 signal pairs; VAUXP, and VAUXN(2).
One set of dedicated pins, VP and VN(2).

PL user inputs

None.

Four, full featured.

Event driven trigger

AMS.PS_SYSMON_CONTROL_STATUS

CONVST start signal input.(1)

EOS, EOC

AMS.ISR_1 [eos], [eoc] interrupts.

EOS, EOC signals to PL fabric.(1)

Reset (see Reset Sources)

POR, write to VP_VN register, AMS.PS_SYSMON_CONTROL_STATUS.

RESET pin, write to VP_VN register.

Notes:

1.This function requires the SYSMONE4 primitive to be instantiated by the bitstream for the PL. The instantiation disconnects the PL SYSMON unit from the PS, and provides a slave bus interface and the other system signals for the PL fabric.

2.The VAUXP/VAUXN, and VN/VP analog signals are connected to device pins by instantiating the SYSMONE4 primitive.
