16 years agoHow much is the maximum current of FPGA
Hi,everyone, I'm working in a project using EP1C6Q240.The datasheet says that the Current Strength of each I/O pin can be set up to 24mA.Suppose I use 100 pins to output 20mA at the same time,the ...

16 years agoI use 74LVTH16245 and ULN2803 in our former design to decrease power consumption in FPGA.I know it's a better choice.I just want to know whether there is a constraint:confused: .Some MCU's pin can source/sink dozens of mA,but the summation of the current is limited to hundreds of mA,even if it has lots of pins.Did you want to tell me that I can't calculate the total current by adding each current of I/O simply,But to use something like advanced I/O analysis? I know nothing about it.
