Honored ContributorHot FPGA!
My FPGA gets really hot after configuration. I've checked my power pins, and they are all connected to the correct supplies which are all within tolerance. Any other suggestions?

Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- A common mistake I've seen is related to the Quartus Unused I/O setting which, by default, is set to 'Outputs Driving GND' and those I/O are connected (directly) to VCC on the board. Make sure that this is not the case - as this will not only increase current consumption, but also damage the I/O buffer. --- Quote End --- :D Thanks! I had the same problem and just figured out what was wrong!
