The core voltages for FPGAs are moving lower as a result of advances in the fabrication process. The newest FPGA family from Altera, the Stratix® II, now requires a core voltage of 1.2V and the Stratix, Stratix GX, HardCopy® Stratix and CycloneTM families require a core voltage of 1.5V. This article discusses how to power the core and I/O of low voltage FPGAs using the latest step-down switch mode controllers from Linear Technology Corporation.
