5.1.2.1. Future-Proofing an FPGA Thermal Design
An FPGA design can be changed or updated after deployment in the field; some of these changes could increase the power consumption of the device.
Whenever possible, it is good practice to provide margin in your cooling solution, to accommodate possible future changes. One way to do this is by adding thermal margin on the Thermal tab, where the PTC adjusts the power and provides a new set of thermal parameters.
