Frequent ContributorIntel FPGA dont have options as sleep mode : In general it is possible in flash based FPGA not the SRAM based. .
Can i know why your application would like to use FPGA ?
New ContributorI can't give out too many details. I want a traditionally microcontroller functionality(hence the soft cpu) plus some custom peripherals. The custom peripherals is the reason for the FPGA.
This is interesting...
For some reason I assumed that like most modern digital hardware(based on MOSFETs), that if the signals are not changing that only low power is needed. So I was thinking I could implement sleep like functionality by turning off the clock to parts of the chip. In fact, the power analyzer in quartus says my simple test design should be using low power. I think the number is 0.080mW. Certainly no where near the 0.5W to 1W I'm seeing.
So would the M10 work better for my application, or does it also use lots of power even if nothing is changing?
New ContributorSorry, I mistyped. I believe quartus said the power estimate was 0.080W. Still that's under 1/5th of what I'm measuring.
