Power dissipation of design without any logic

A design without any logic is compiled and analysed in PowerPlay Tool,the result as below,

Core dynamic thermal power dissipation: 0mw

Core static thermal power dissipation: 79.98mw

I/O thermal power dissipation: 30.07mw

Is static dissipation too much high for Ep2c35?

Why in a no logic design still exist I/O dissipation?

Thank you!

    Well, to start with, there is a thing called a leakage current ;)

    I know the leakage currnet caused the static power disspation,thanks anyway
