20. Power Management for Agilex™ 3 FPGAs and SoCs

The Agilex™ 3 FPGA product family offers standard power devices that support fixed core voltage devices with limited core speed options.

The Agilex™ 3 FPGAs and SoCs C-Series achieve significant total power reduction of up to 38% compared to Cyclone® V FPGA.

To achieve the total power reduction, the Agilex™ 3 FPGAs and SoCs capitalizes on:

  • Advanced Intel® 7 technology
  • Second generation Hyperflex® core architecture
  • Fixed core voltage
  • Other power reduction techniques such as power island and power gating

Device Type Description
Fixed voltage
  • The devices support 0.75 V and 0.78 V.
  • Using a fixed low core voltage, the devices further reduce the total power consumption while maintaining device performance.

The power island and power gating feature powers down unused resources in Agilex™ 3 devices to reduce static power consumption. During configuration, the Quartus® Prime software automatically powers down specific unused resources such as the DSP or M20K blocks.

Furthermore, Agilex™ 3 devices feature industry-leading low power transceivers and include a number of hard IP blocks. The hard IP blocks not only reduce logic resources utilization but also deliver substantial power savings compared to soft implementations. The hard IP blocks generally consume up to 50% less power than equivalent soft logic implementations.
