The default core voltage for both the Cyclone® II and Cyclone® III is 1.2V. However, using this voltage on Cyclone® III devices offers designs an estimated 30% reduction in overall core power. This includes static and dynamic power reductions to the core, while keeping the I/O power about the same. Another innovative power reduction option for Cyclone® III FPGA users is the ability to use a reduced core voltage to lower power consumption even further. The exact value of the reduced core voltage is still being evaluated. The goal is to offer up to 50% power savings over Cyclone® II devices.
