Hi, 

I am a little bit new to FPGA and especially the new development board I have got(Cyclone II EP2C20 FPGA). 

I have tested the advanced examples described in the manual. I wanne know how I can use the maximum power (/current) of the FPGA ? or there modules to download in the Altera website for instance? or any other Idea? 

 

Thanks, 

Tayaz

what are you trying to do by maximizing the power? 

 

have you taken a look at the Early Power Estimator Excel sheets? they will give you an idea of how to maximize your power consumption
