Step 1: Download the Power Specification Estimator (EPE)

First, download EPE (PowerPlay Early Power Estimator) for the required FPGA series and generation from Intel's website.

Step 2: Enter FPGA Specifications into EPE

At EPE, the customer determines the FPGA conditions (Air Flow conditions, number of logics used, I/O, PLL, clock frequency, etc.).

* Of course, it is possible to select a device based on the current value, input voltage, and output voltage even at the stage where the FPGA conditions have not been determined.

Step 3: Consult with the contact person based on the EPE information

If you would like to discuss power supply circuits based on the power consumption calculated by EPE, please contact our sales representative and we will propose a power supply device that meets your specifications.

Step 4: Prototype and evaluate for mass production

The customer will conduct prototype production, device evaluation, and board evaluation, and our technical department in charge of power supply products will provide support for realization.

Step 5: Mass production

Start of mass production.

The above is the flow from rough power source selection to mass production.

In the following columns, we will introduce specific ways to use EPE, how to create other power trees, how to assemble sequences, etc.
