The WEBENCH FPGA Power Architect tool determines an optimized power supply model for more than 130 of the newest FPGA devices from Altera and Xilinx. The online tool collects all the loads and creates multiple power supply architectures as options for driving the FPGA and the total system.
In addition to the required voltages and currents, each load may have specific limitations for ripple, noise filtering, synchronization, and separation of supplies, as well as soft-start. The designer can tune the recommended power supply with the turn of a dial reducing size, increasing efficiency or lowering complete system cost. See www.national.com/FPGAarchitect.
