Hi,
"So, what are the factors which can cause the fpga heating problem?"
>>
There are various factors as to why FPGA power consumption gets high.
There are two types of power consumption in FPGA; 1. static power 2. dynamic power. The dynamic power consumption depends on the design running on the device. An example is if your design utilizes many logic, RAM, IOs, transceivers, and etc., your dynamic power consumption increases; therefore, heating problem might occur.
"Is it possible due to wrong current strength setting in pin planner cause the heating issue. We are using 4mA(default) setting."

No, the current strength is NOT related to the heating issue. The current strength is to match the impedance among devices and board to maintain the system integrity.
