Power Optimization; Power Generation; Power Distribution; Power Dissipation And Thermal Considerations - Intel Agilex User Manual

1.1.3. Power Optimization

The device configuration can be optimized to reduce power.
This step involves the Intel Quartus Prime software power optimization wizard, the
SmartVID feature (available in all Intel Agilex devices except for –4F speed grade),
system cooling decisions, and/or dynamic workload management strategies. This
phase may occur several times during the evolution of the system and device design.

1.1.4. Power Generation

Voltage regulator modules (VRMs) are selected based on the power tree and electrical
power estimates. VRM selection is critical to producing high-quality power systems
with the minimum number and cost of bypass elements. Intel Enpirion VRMs are
featured due to their high quality and fast load transient response.

1.1.5. Power Distribution

The power distribution network (PDN) is designed, producing a list of the required
number, value, and quality of bypass capacitors using the PDN tool, power tree, VRMs
electrical power estimations, and board physical geometries.

1.1.6. Power Dissipation and Thermal Considerations

Thermal cooling estimates are used to design the cooling solution. The EPE can be
used to model the effect of different solutions on junction temperature. The effects of
junction temperature on device power consumption and device reliability should be
considered in this phase.

1.2. Power Supplies
