The FPGA Power Architect enables customers to obtain FPGA power supplies in minutes. The advanced design tool incorporates the detailed supply requirements of the newest FPGA devices from Altera, Xilinx, Actel, and Lattice. High performance FPGA power supplies are complex, requiring the designer to meet unique multiple voltage levels with precise voltage, current, ripple, noise filtering, synchronization, soft start, and supply separation demands. The power supply designs delivered by WEBENCH incorporate comprehensive FPGA power requirements published by the FPGA manufacturers, giving the designer confidence that the power supplies will meet these constraints while saving critical time in the process. Tools such as the Xilinx Power Estimator and Altera’s PowerPlay Early Power Estimator (EPE) are useful tools to estimate the power consumption from early design concept through design implementation. The software for both of these manufacturers are spreadsheet based.
