I've used it on a number of V2 and V2P FPGAs. All have worked,
although there was a board at Agilent that (presumably) had a noise
issue and would read about 20 degrees high.
Moral: follow the layout recommendations in the monitor chip data
sheet.
I prefer to use something like the LM87, as this allows me to monitor
the supply rails as well.

Allan

Hi there,
I'm actually using the thermal diode right now with the MAX6642 temp
sensor IC. External diode sensor measurement range of this IC is 0C to
150C. So far I've looked at approx 20 V-4 devices from a number of
different lots. This external IC is accurate to ~ +/- 2C from 0C to
105C. I'm using a calibrated temp forcing system from Temptronic (+/- 0.5C).
Regards,
Anthony

We are using it on the 4VFX-20 's without any problems.

Hello guys,
Has anyone used the DXP and DXN pins in Virtex-4 yet? If so and if the
results were all right, what external sensor did you use...?
Thanks in advance,
