19 years agoStrange effect with Stratix FPGA
Hello! I am using a Stratix EP1S10 device on a NIOS II Development Board. I use it for VHDL programming only. That means, I don't use any NIOS stuff in my project. I made my own user configurat...

19 years agoThat doesn't sound right that it's hitting the power supply. I figured if you whole FPGA was toggling at, say >150MHz with truly random data(i.e. 50% toggle rate) you could be using too much power. Once you're in memory, it sounds like a pretty normal design. Are all the IO assigned and correct? (I know that's a loaded question). I'm just guessing something else may be using a lot of power, like IO contention. Not really sure though.
