How do I estimate the power consumption of an FPGA?

The power estimation tool provided by the FPGA manufactuers is a very good way to obtain an estimate. Obviously, the more information you can provide, the more accurately the results reflect the power consumption you'll see. Otherwise, there are too many parameters that influence the power consumption.

How much power does an FPGA consume?

In general, the amount of power an FPGA "consumes" is related to the function it is performing and the frequency it is operating at. That's why you can't find an authoritative number; because "it depends".

Why is low power consumption a challenge for FPGA manufacturers?

FPGAs with low power consumption are ideal and they represent a challenge for FPGAs manufacturers. There are three types of power consumption that should be taken into account to design an efficient FPGA: • Static Power: It is the power consumed by transistor leakage when no signals are toggling.

What is a programmable FPGA?

In general terms, FPGAs are programmable silicon chips with a collection of programmable logic blocks surrounded by Input/Output blocks that are put together through programmable interconnect resources to become any kind of digital circuit or system. FPGAs developed from programmable read-only memory (PROM) and programmable logic devices (PLDs).

What is a Modern FPGA used for?

Modern FPGAs are used across several markets; some of the latest applications by market include: 1. Energy: Renewable energy sources (e.g., solar and wind power) are reliable and are found more often as part of a smart grid where standards are still evolving.

What are some advanced topics in FPGA power management?

Now we will examine some advanced topics in FPGA power management with a special focus on portable systems, including: Irrespective of the FPGA being used, the end system dictates the power supply challenges. For example, in a DVD recorder with satellite broadcast, dozens of power rails may be required in addition to pow- ering the FPGA.
