FPGA Power Optimization
DOWNLOAD COURSE DESCRIPTION
Attending the FPGA Power Optimization class will help you create a more power efficient FPGA design. This course can help you fit your design into a smaller FPGA, reduce your FPGA’s power consumption, or run your FPGA at a lower temperature. In addition, by mastering the tools and design methodologies presented in this course, you will be able to create your design faster, shorten your development time, and lower development costs.
Who Should Attend
FPGA designers with intermediate knowledge of HDL and some experience with the Xilinx ISE® software tools

LAB DESCRIPTION
- Lab 1: Power Estimation with XPE – Estimate the resources required based on the high-level design description. Enter the amount of resources and default activity rates for the design and evaluate the estimated power calculated by XPE.
- Lab 2: Power Estimation with XPA – Import the MAP report contents into the XPE spreadsheet and evaluate the estimated power with the XPE. Estimate the design’s power consumption with the XPA power estimation utility and compare its results to that made with XPE.
- Lab 3: Dynamic Power Estimation – Simulate the design with ISim and generate the necessary Switching Activity Interchange Format (SAIF) file. Launch the XPA utility, load the SAIF file contents, and use XPA to estimate your design’s dynamic power consumption.
- Lab 4: Power Management Software Options – Use the Power reduction option in MAP and the Global Optimization settings to save power in your design.
