Cyclone 10 GX - power estimation for 10CX085

We are searching for an FPGA that is economical in terms of power. In the past we have seen, that many devices share a common die and only restrict the resources artificially. When looking at stati...

Hi,

Sorry for the late response.

If you are looking for the low static power devices then Cyclone 10 LP family is actually meant for that. As I am not aware of your design requirement, hence can't recommend any particular device. You may check the device overviews for that.

For the power estimation sheet, yes the static power is fixed. You can still have a fairly close estimation if you enter correct design and environment details in the sheet.


Regards.

Hello Ash,

we already use the Cyclone IV E (which is very similar to the 10LP) in some of our products.
We definitely need some transceivers - 5/6.x GBit would be the minimum, 10GBit would be nice.

=> At this point, the Cyclone 10 GX seems like an almost perfect fit - Cyclone V GT
would be "okay" but is a little bit outdated.

If the static power of 10CX085 <-> 10CX220 is the same due to a shared hardware it is
very unfortunate for us - but thanks for clearing it up.

Best regards,

Roman
