Intel Stratix 10 Power Management Overview

The Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device family offers SmartVID standard power devices in all speed grades. Lower power fixed-voltage devices are also available in all speed grades except for the fastest speed grade.

Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices also offer power gating feature to the digital signal processing (DSP) blocks and M20K memory blocks that are not in use for static power savings. You can implement this feature through the Intel^® Quartus^® Prime software. This user guide describes power saving features of the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device family, and also describes the power-up and power-down sequencing requirements for the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices.

Intel Stratix 10 Power Management Architecture and Features

The following sections describe the power consumption, power reduction techniques, power sense line feature, power-on reset (POR) requirements, power-up and power-down sequencing requirements.

Power Consumption

The total power consumption of an Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device consists of the following components:

Static power—the power that the configured device consumes when powered up but no user clocks are operating, excluding DC bias power of analog blocks, such as I/O and transceiver analog circuitry.
Dynamic power—the additional power consumption of the device due to signal activity or toggling.
Standby power—the component of active power that is independent of signal activity or toggling. Standby power includes, but is not limited to, I/O and transceiver DC bias power.

Dynamic Power Equation

The following equation shows how to calculate dynamic power where P is power, C is the load capacitance, and V is the supply voltage level. The frequency refers to the clock frequency and data toggles once every clock cycle.

Figure 1. Dynamic Power Equation

The equation shows that power is design-dependent. Power is dependent on the operating frequency of your design, applied voltage, and load capacitance, which depends on design connectivity. Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices minimize static and dynamic power using advanced process optimizations. These optimizations allow Intel^® Stratix^® 10 designs to meet specific performance requirements with the lowest possible power.

Power Reduction Techniques and Features

Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices leverage on advanced 14-nm process technology, an enhanced core architecture, and various optimizations to reduce total power consumption. The power reduction techniques and features are listed below:

SmartVID Standard Power Devices
Power-Screened Devices
Temperature Compensation
DSP and M20K Power Gating
Clock Gating
Power Sense Line

SmartVID Standard Power Devices

The SmartVID feature compensates for process variation by narrowing the process distribution using voltage adaptation. This feature is supported in devices with the –V standard power option only. For the –V standard power option devices, you must connect the PWRMGT_SCL and PWRMGT_SDA pins in both the Power Management BUS (PMBus™) master and PMBus slave modes. An additional PWRMGT_ALERT pin is required when you configure the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device in the PMBus slave mode. All connections required must be set up on the circuit board and the Intel^® Quartus^® Prime software.

For more information about how to connect these pins on the circuit board, refer to the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 Device Family Pin Connection Guidelines.

For instructions to set up the connection in the Intel^® Quartus^® Prime software, refer to the Specifying Parameters and Options section of this document.

Note: Intel^® Stratix^® 10 standard power devices (–1V, –2V, –3V power grade) are SmartVID devices. The core voltage supplies (V_CC and V_CCP) for each SmartVID device must be driven by a PMBus-compliant voltage regulator dedicated to the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 –V device that is connected to that Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device via PMBus. For Intel^® Stratix^® 10 standard power devices, use of a PMBus-compliant voltage regulator for each device is mandatory. Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices will not configure or function correctly if the core voltage is driven by a non-PMBus compliant regulator with a fixed output voltage.

Intel programs the optimum voltage level required by each individual Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device into a fuse block during device manufacturing. The Secure Device Manager (SDM) Power Manager reads these values and can communicate them to an external power regulator or a system power controller through the PMBus interface.

The SmartVID feature allows a power regulator to provide the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device with V_CC and V_CCP voltage levels that maintain the performance of the specific device speed grade. When the SmartVID feature is used:

Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices are initially powered up to a nominal voltage level of 0.9V for both V_CC and V_CCP .
After the SmartVID value in the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device is determined and propagated to the external voltage regulator, both the V_CC and V_CCP voltages are regulated based on the SmartVID value.

SmartVID Feature Implementation in Intel Stratix 10 Devices

Devices supporting the SmartVID feature have a SmartVID value programmed into a fuse block during device manufacturing. The SmartVID value represents a voltage level in the range of 0.8V to 0.94V. Each device has its own specific SmartVID value.

The SmartVID value is sent to the external regulator or system power controller through the PMBus interface. Upon receiving the SmartVID value, an adjustable regulator tunes the V_CC and V_CCP voltage levels to the voltage specified by the SmartVID value.

Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices perform the SmartVID setup in the early stage of the configuration process. The SmartVID process will continue to monitor the V_CC and V_CCP voltage rails in user mode. The Power Manager monitors the temperature and adjusts the voltage when required. For more information, refer to the Temperature Compensation section.

Table 1. SmartVID Regulator Requirements
Specification	Value
Voltage range	0.8 V – 0.94 V
Voltage step	10 mV
Ramp time	Non-CvP—10 mV/10 ms to 10 mV/20 µs Configuration via Protocol (CvP)—10 mV/60 µs to 10 mV/20 µs ¹

¹ When the system is required to support the CvP functionality and meet the PCI Express* ( PCIe* ) link-up timing budget during the initial power up, the minimum ramp time is 10 mV/60 µs.

SDM Power Manager

Figure 2. SDM Power Manager Block Diagram

In Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices, the SmartVID feature is managed by the SDM subsystem. The SDM subsystem is powered up after V_CC and V_CCP voltage levels are powered up to 0.9V. The SDM Power Manager reads the SmartVID programmed value and communicates this value to the external voltage regulator through the PMBus interface.

The SDM Power Manager has the following stages:

Initial/Shutdown stage
- Powers up V_CC and V_CCP to the voltage level based on the SmartVID programmed value and the device temperature.
- Configures the FPGA and switches the FPGA to user mode.
Monitor stage
- Monitors temperature and updates the V_CC and V_CCP.

The shutdown stage is triggered during device reconfiguration.

PMBus Master Mode

In the PMBus master mode, during the initial stage, the SDM Power Manager powers up the V_CC and V_CCP to the voltage level based on the SmartVID programmed value and the device temperature before it starts to configure the FPGA. After entering the user mode (in the monitor stage), the SDM Power Manager monitors temperature changes and decides if the V_CC and V_CCP output voltage values need to be updated. If voltages require updating, the SDM Power Manager identifies the voltage value based on the fuse values and the current temperature and sends the desired voltage value to the voltage regulators through the PMBus (PWRMGT_SCL and PWRMGT_SDA).

The PMBus master mode supports the multi-master mode.

Note: The PMBus mode only supports the 1.8-V I/O standard.

Figure 3. PMBus Master Mode

Table 2. Supported Commands for the PMBus Master Mode
Command Name	Command Code	PMBus Transaction Type	Number of Bytes
`PAGE` ²	00h	Write byte	1
`VOUT_MODE` ³	20h	Read byte	1
`VOUT_COMMAND`	21h	Write word	2
`READ_VOUT`	8Bh	Read word	2
`MFR_ADC_CONTROL` ⁴	D8h	Write byte	1

² This is an optional command. This command is only applicable if you enable the PAGE command parameter. For more information, refer to the Power Management and VID Parameters section.

³ This is an optional command. This command is only applicable if you select the Auto discovery in the voltage output format parameter. For more information, refer to the Power Management and VID Parameters section.

⁴ This command is sent when you set the device type to LTM4677 only.

PMBus Slave Mode

Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices can also be configured in the PMBus slave mode with an external power management controller acting as the PMBus master. When you configure the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device in the PMBus slave mode, you must connect an additional PWRMGT_ALERT pin while connecting the existing PWRMGT_SCL and PWRMGT_SDA pins.

Note: The PMBus mode only supports the 1.8-V I/O standard.

Figure 4. PMBus Slave Mode

Table 3. Supported Commands for the PMBus Slave Mode
Command Name	Command Code	Default	PMBus Transaction Type	Number of Bytes
`CLEAR_FAULTS`	03h	—	Send byte	0
`VOUT_MODE`	20h	40h	Read byte	1
`VOUT_COMMAND`	21h	—	Read word	2
`STATUS_BYTE`	78h	00h	Read byte	1

The following figure shows the stage flow for the external power management controller in the PMBus slave mode.

Figure 5. Stage Flow for the External Power Management Controller in the PMBus Slave Mode

The Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device in the PMBus slave mode will be sending the VOUT_COMMAND value in the direct format only. To read the actual voltage value, use the following equation to convert the VOUT_COMMAND value from the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device.

Figure 6. Direct Format Equation

The equation shows how to convert the direct format value where:

X, is the calculated, real value units in mV;
m, is the slope coefficient, a 2-byte two's complement integer;
Y, is the 2-byte two's complement integer received from the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device;
b, is the offset, a 2-byte two's complement integer;
R, is the exponent, a 1-byte two's complement integer

The following example shows how an external power management controller retrieves values from the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device. Coefficients used in the VOUT_COMMAND are as follows:

m = 1
b = 0
R = 0

If the external power management controller retrieved a value of 0384h, it is equivalent to the following:

X = (1/1) x (0384h x 10^-0 - 0) = 900 mV = 0.90 V

Power-Screened Devices

Intel^® Stratix^® 10 power-screened devices are available in –2L and –3X options. Power-screened devices offer lower static power than the SmartVID –V power option devices. The –2L and –3X power-screened devices run at a fixed-voltage supply and do not require using the PMBus regulator.

Temperature Compensation

Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices are able to compensate for performance degradation at colder temperatures by raising the voltage. While raising the voltage does increase the dynamic power consumption, this is countered by lower leakage at cold temperatures, thus enabling total power consumption at cold temperatures to still be lower than at hot temperatures.

The SmartVID feature supports this dynamic voltage adjustment. The SDM Power Manager checks for temperature changes and updates the new VID value if the temperature crosses the threshold point.

Figure 7. Temperature Compensation for SmartVID for Intel^® Stratix^® 10 Devices—PreliminaryThe SDM monitors the temperature, normally at every 100 ms, and adjusts the voltage by communicating with an external power management system. Adjustment is made by the SDM after the sensor detects the temperature setting is below 10 °C or above 20 °C.

DSP and M20K Power Gating

Power gating of the DSP blocks and M20K memory blocks is enabled via the configuration RAM (CRAM) bits. Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices support power gating for both DSP blocks and M20K memory blocks. By default, the Intel^® Quartus^® Prime software automatically configures unused DSP blocks and M20K memory blocks to be power gated.

Clock Gating

Clock gating can be used to reduce dynamic power consumption. When an application is idle, its clock can be gated temporarily and ungated based on wake-up events. This is done using user logic to enable or disable the global clock (GCLK) and sector clock (SCLK).

You can perform dynamic power reduction by gating the clock signals of any circuitry not used by the design in the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices. The sector clock gating is done at the multiplexer level.

Clock gating a large portion of your FPGA design could cause significant current change over a short time period when the gated circuitry is enabled or disabled. The maximum current step resulting from this clock gating should be sized such that it does not create noise exceeding the maximum allowed AC noise specification, as determined by the PDN decoupling design on your PCB. You can control the current step size by dividing a large gated area into smaller sub-regions and staging those regions to enter or exit power gating sequentially.

Power Sense Line

Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices support the power sense line feature. VCCLSENSE and GNDSENSE pins are differential remote sense pins used to monitor the V_CC power supply.

You must connect the VCCLSENSE and GNDSENSE pins to the remote sense inputs for all regulators that support the remote voltage sensing feature.

Power-On Reset Circuitry

The POR circuitry keeps the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device in the reset state until the power supply outputs are within the recommended operating range.

A POR event occurs when you power up the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device until all power supplies monitored by the POR circuitry reach the recommended operating range within the maximum power supply ramp time, t_RAMP . If t_RAMP is not met, the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device I/O pins and programming registers remain tri-stated, which may cause device configuration to fail.

Figure 8. Relationship Between t_RAMP and POR Delay

The Intel^® Stratix^® 10 POR circuitry uses individual detection circuitry to monitor each of the configuration-related power supplies independently. The POR circuitry is gated by the outputs of all the individual detectors.

POR delay is the time from when the POR trips out to the final reset signal.

The Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device is held in the POR state until all power supplies have passed their trigger point. After power supplies have passed the trigger point, the SDM will wait for a configurable delay time and then start device configuration.

Power Supplies Monitored and Not Monitored by the POR Circuitry

Table 4. Power Supplies Monitored and Not Monitored by the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 POR Circuitry
Power Supplies Monitored	Power Supplies Not Monitored
V_CC V_CCERAM V_CCPT V_CCADC V_{CCIO_SDM} V_CCBAT V_{CCL_HPS} ⁵	V_CCP V_{CCR_GXB} V_{CCT_GXB} V_{CCH_GXB} V_CCIO V_{CCIO_HPS} ⁵ V_{CCA_PLL} V_{CCFUSEWR_SDM} V_{CCPLLDIG_SDM} V_{CCPLLDIG_HPS} ⁵ V_{CCPLL_HPS} ⁵ V_{CCPLL_SDM} V_{CCM_WORD} V_{CCIO_UIB} V_{CCRT_GXE} V_{CCRTPLL_GXE}

Note: For the device to exit POR, you must power the V_CCBAT power supply even if you do not use the volatile key.

⁵ These are only supported by system-on-a-chip (SoC) FPGA.

Power Sequencing Considerations for Intel Stratix 10 Devices

The Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices require a specific power-up and power-down sequence. This section describes several power management options and discusses proper I/O management during device power-up and power-down. Design your power supply solution to properly control the complete power sequence.

The requirements in this section must be followed to prevent unpredictable current draw to the FPGA device, which can potentially impact the I/O functionality. Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices do not support 'Hot-Socketing' except under the conditions stated in the table below. The table below also shows what the unpowered pins can tolerate during power-up and power-down sequences.

Table 5. Pin Tolerance – Power-Up/Power-Down'√' is Acceptable; '-' is Not Applicable.
Pin Type	Power-Up				Power-Down
Pin Type	Tristate	Drive to GND	Drive to VCCIO	Driven with < 1.1 Vp-p	Tristate	Drive to GND	Drive to VCCIO	Driven with < 1.1 Vp-p
3VIO banks	√	-	-	-	√	√	-	-
LVDS I/O banks	√	√	√⁶	-	√	√	√⁶	-
Differential Transceiver pins	√	√	-	√⁷	√	√	-	√⁷

⁶ The maximum current allowed through any LVDS I/O bank pin when the device is unpowered or during power up/down conditions = 10 mA (refer to "LVDS I/O Pin Guidance for Unpowered FPGA Pins").

⁷ This applies to Intel^® Stratix^® 10 L-Tile/H-Tile only (refer to "Transceiver Pin Guidance for Unpowered FPGA Transceiver Pins").

Power-Up Sequence Requirements for Intel Stratix 10 Devices

Note: To satisfy the power-up requirements, program the FPGA device immediately after the power-up sequence completes.

The power rails in Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices are each divided into three groups. Refer to the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 Device Family Pin Connection Guidelines and AN692: Power Sequencing Considerations for Intel^® Cyclone^® 10 GX, Intel^® Arria^® 10, and Intel^® Stratix^® 10 Devices for additional details.

The diagram below illustrates the voltage groups of the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices and their required power-up sequence.

Figure 9. Power-Up Sequence for Intel^® Stratix^® 10 Devices

Note: VCCBAT is not in any of the groups below. VCCBAT does not have any sequence requirements. VCCBAT holds the contents of the security keys.

Table 6. Voltage Rails
Power Group	Intel^® Stratix^® 10
Group 1	V_CC V_CCP V_CCERAM V_{CCR_GXB} V_{CCT_GXB} V_{CCL_HPS} V_{CCPLLDIG_SDM} V_{CCRT_GXE} (TX device) V_{CCRTPLL_GXE} (TX device)
Group 2	V_CCPT V_{CCH_GXB} V_{CCA_PLL} V_{CCPLL_HPS} V_{CCPLL_SDM} V_CCADC V_{CCH_GXE} (TX device)
Group 3	V_CCIO V_CCIO3V V_{CCIO_SDM} V_{CCIO_HPS} V_{CCFUSEWR_SDM} V_{CCIO_UIB} V_CCM V_{CCCLK_GXE} (TX device)

All power rails in Group 1 must ramp up (in any order) to a minimum of 90% of their respective nominal voltage before the power rails from Group 2 can start ramping up.

The power rails within Group 2 can ramp up in any order after the last power rail in Group 1 ramps to the minimum threshold of 90% of its nominal voltage. All power rails in Group 2 must ramp to a minimum threshold of 90% of their nominal value before the Group 3 power rails can start ramping up.

The power rails within Group 3 can ramp up in any order after the last power rail in Group 2 ramps up to a minimum threshold of 90% of their full value.

For Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices, you can combine and ramp up Group 3 power rails with Group 2 power rails if the two groups share the same voltage level and the same voltage regulator as Group 2 power rail V_CCPT.

Note: Ensure that the newly combined power rails do not cause any driving of unpowered GPIO or transceiver pins.

All power rails must ramp up monotonically. The power-up sequence should meet either the standard or the fast POR delay time. The POR delay time depends on the POR delay setting you use. For the POR specifications of the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices, refer to the POR Specifications section in the Intel^® Stratix^® 10 Device Datasheet .

For configuration via protocol (CvP), the total TRAMP must be less than 10 ms from the first power supply ramp-up to the last power supply ramp-up. Select a fast POR delay setting to allow sufficient time for the PCI Express* ( PCIe* ) link initialization and configuration. The power-up sequence must meet either the standard or fast POR delay time depending on the POR delay setting you use.

Power-Down Sequence Recommendations and Requirements for Intel Stratix 10 Devices

Intel's FPGAs need to follow certain requirements during a power-down sequence. The power-down sequence can be a controlled power-down event via an on/off switch or an uncontrolled event as with a power supply collapse. In either case, you must follow a specific power-down sequence. Below are four power-down sequence specifications. They are either Recommended (one), Required (two), or Relaxed (one). To comply with Intel^® ’s FPGA Power-Down requirements, the Recommended option is best.

Note: If you cannot follow the Recommended specification, you must follow the Required specification.

Recommended Power-Down Ramp Specification

This is the best option to minimize power supply currents.

Figure 10. Recommended Power-Down Ramp Specification

Power down all power rails fully within 100 ms.
Power down power supplies within the same Group in any order.
Before Group 2 supplies power down, power down all Group 3 supplies within 10% of GND.
Before Group 1 supplies power down, power down all Group 2 supplies within 10% of GND.
The maximum voltage differential between any Group 3 supply and any Group 2 supply is 1.92 V.

For Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices, you can combine and ramp down Group 3 power rails with Group 2 power rails if the two groups share the same voltage level and the same voltage regulator as the Group 2 power rails.

Ensure that the newly combined power rails do not cause any driving of unpowered GPIO or transceiver pins.
Ensure that the newly combined power rails do not violate any power-down sequencing specification due to device (third party) leakage; maintain the Required Voltage Differential Specification.

During the power-up/down sequence, the device output pins are tri-stated. To ensure long term reliability of the device, Intel recommends that you do not drive the input pins during this time.

Required Power-Down Ramp Specification

In cases where power supply is collapsing or if the recommended specification cannot be met, the following PDS sequence is required.

Figure 11. Required Power-Down Ramp Specification

Power down all power rails fully within 100 ms.
As soon as possible, disable all power supplies.
- Tri-state Group 1 supplies, and do not drive them actively to GND.
- If possible, drive or terminate Group 2 and Group 3 supplies to GND.
Ensure no alternative sourcing of any power supply exists during the power-down sequence; reduce all supplies monotonically and with a consistent RC typical decay.
By the time any Group 1 supply goes under 0.35 V, all Group 2 and Group 3 supplies must be under 1.0 V.

Required Voltage Differential Specification

To not excessively overstress device transistors during power-down, there is an additional voltage requirement between any two power supplies between different power groups during power-down:

ΔV < ΔV_nom + 500 mV

Figure 12. Required Voltage Differential Specification

Power down all power rails fully within 100 ms.

For example, if Group 1 Voltage = 0.9 V, Group 2 Voltage = 1.8 V, and Group 3 Voltage = 3.0 V, then:

G3V_nom = 3.0 V G2V_nom = 1.8 V	G2V_nom = 1.8 V G1V_nom = 0.9 V	G3V_nom = 3.0 V G1V_nom = 0.9 V
(G3V – G2V)_nom = 1.2 V	(G2V – G1V)_nom = 0.9 V	(G3V – G1V)_nom = 2.1 V
(G3V – G2V) <= 1.2 V + .5 V	(G2V – G1V) <= 0.9 V + .5 V	(G3V – G1V) <= 2.1 V + .5 V
(G3V – G2V) <= 1.7 V	(G2V – G1V) <= 1.4 V	(G3V – G1V) <= 2.6 V

To meet this voltage differential requirement, ramp down all power supplies as soon as possible according to the Required Power-Down Ramp Specification.

Note: Not following the required power sequence can result in unpredictable device operation and internal high current paths.

Relaxed Power-Down Duration Specification

For supplies being powered down with no active termination, voltage reduction to GND slows down as supply approaches 0 V. In this case, the 100 ms power requirement is relaxed - measure it when supply reaches near GND.

Figure 13. Relaxed Power-Down Duration Specification

Ensure all Group 1 supplies reach < 100 mV within 100 ms.
Ensure all Group 2 and Group 3 supplies reach < 200 mV within 100 ms.

Power Supply Design

The power supply requirements for Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices will vary depending on the static and dynamic power for each specific use case. The Enpirion portfolio of power management solutions, combined with comprehensive design tools, enable optimized Intel^® Stratix^® 10 device power supply design. The Enpirion portfolio includes power management solutions that are compatible with the multiple interface methods utilized by Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices and designed to support Intel^® Stratix^® 10 power reduction features such as the SmartVID feature.

Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices have multiple input voltage rails that require regulated power supplies for their operation. Multiple input rail requirements may be grouped according to system considerations such as voltage requirements, noise sensitivity, and sequencing. The Intel^® Stratix^® 10 Device Family Pin Connection Guidelines provides more detailed recommendations about which input rails may be grouped. The Early Power Estimator (EPE) tool for Intel^® Stratix^® 10 devices also provides input rail power requirements and specific device recommendations based on each specific Intel^® Stratix^® 10 use case. Individual input rail voltage and current requirements are summarized on the “Report” tab. Input rail groupings and specific power supply recommendations can be found on the “Report” and “Enpirion” tabs, respectively.
