Powering Your FPGA Applications
FPGAs are widely used in a variety of products due to their many advantages, including short development time, cost effectiveness, and flexibility to reconfigure or update in the field. Many new FPGAs employ advanced technology to achieve low power consumption and high performance. They use a new fabrication process that tends to require a lower core voltage, which extends the supply voltage range and increases current capability. Many FPGAs also have varying power supply requirements for each power rail. These power rails may have a different voltage output requirement, sequencing requirement, and noise sensitivity. Power module devices are ideal for addressing these power supply requirements.
