PowerPlay very low IO current estimation

Hi,

I have a Cyclone V device, with 64 1.8V IO pins planned for ADCs and DACs (sampling about 125M).

Now, i have ran PowerPlay analyzer to estimate the power usage of this design. I set the default toggle rate to 125M and the result came back as 30mA for VCCIO and also 30mA for VCCPD.

I am wondering if these results are realistic? 30mA for 64 pins seems very low...

Thanks :)
