    This evaluation board enables you to measure power consumption (dynamic, static, and Flash*Freeze modes) with the core operating between 1.2 V and 1.5 V. When using the board in conjunction with Actel’s power analysis tools, you will have a clear picture of application power consumption at each stage in your design. In addition, the Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE) tool suite now includes power-driven layout (PDL), which can reduce the power consumption of designs up to 30 percent.
