ACADEMIC PROJECT
Imperial College, London - Summer 2011: Circuits and Systems Group, Department of Electrical and
Electronics Engineering
Measurement of Intra-Die Power Variation in Sub-nm FPGAs under the guidance of Prof. Peter Cheung and Dr. Sumanta Chaudhuri Objective: To visualize the variation of power consumed in the different regions in an FPGA Outcome: Designed and successfully implemented an automated work-flow for the measurement of relative

power consumed by each cell in an FPGA

Process: Using Quartus, I designed an algorithm in TCL to select a region the size of one cell, and shift the selected

region cell by cell all across the FPGA. For each selected region, the power consumption is measured as the current across the proper pins on the starter board of the FPGA, using an oscilloscope. These measurements are transferred to a computer via a USB connection to the oscilloscope, and fed into MATLAB. Then I used MATLAB to plot a 3D graph of the power consumed by each cell relative to the maximum power, over a 2D area representing all the cells of the FPGA. Efforts were made to speed up the process of sampling the power consumed, and yet maintain accuracy, by suitably changing different settings in the oscilloscope. Since all 16 counters in one cell of an FPGA had to be activated to obtain measurable power, the proper code was written so as not to allow Quartus to optimize the circuit into one with only a single counter.
