Lowering Power at 28nm with Xilinx 7 Series FPGAs

by Jim Turley

This whitepaper describes several aspects of power related to the Xilinx® 28nm 7 series FPGAs, including the TSMC 28nm high-k metal gate (HKMG), high performance, low power (28nm HPLor 28 HPL) process choice.

The power benefits afforded by the 28 HPL process and its usefulness across Xilinx’s full product offerings is described as well as the architectural innovations and features for power reduction across the dimensions of static power, dynamic power, and I/O power.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
