Design and Compilation
Clock Power Management
Clock routing power is automatically optimized by the Quartus II software, which
only enables those portions of the clock network that are required to feed downstream
registers. Alternately, you can use clock control blocks to implement the clock enable
signal. When a clock network is powered down, all the logic fed by that clock network
does not toggle, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the device.

For more information about how to use the clock control block, refer to the
altclkctrl
Megafunction User Guide.
Reducing Memory Power Consumption
The key to reducing memory power consumption is to reduce the number of memory
clocking events. This can be achieved through the use of the clock control blocks on
the clock network or on per memory basis through the use of the clock enable signals
on the memory port. The clock enable signal enables the memory only when
necessary and shuts it down for the rest of the time, reducing overall memory. You can
use the Quartus II MegaWizard Plug-In Manager to create the enable signals by
selecting the Clock enable signal option when generating the memory block
function.
Reducing I/O Power
The dynamic power consumed in the I/O buffer is proportional to the load
capacitance, output transition frequency, and output voltage swing. Lower the load
capacitance to reduce dynamic power consumption.
Non-terminated I/O standards such as the LVTTL and LVCMOS have a rail-to-rail
output voltage swing equal to the V
supply voltage. Use lower voltage I/O
CCIO
standard to reduce dynamic power. For high speed applications, use
voltage-reference I/O standards, such as the SSTL. The output voltage swings by an
amount smaller than V
around the reference voltage, so dynamic power is lower
CCIO
than that of LVTTL or LVCMOS under the same conditions.
However, voltage-reference I/O standards dissipate significant static power because
current is constantly driven into the termination network. Use the lowest drive
strength that meets your speed and waveform requirements to minimize static power.
On the contrary, LVTTL and LVCMOS consume little static power.

Note that the power dissipated in the external termination network is not included in
the EPE or PowerPlay Power Analyzer calculations. Make sure that you include it
separately in your system power calculations.
Pipelining and Retiming
A design that has many glitches consumes more power because of faster switching
activity. Pipelining by inserting flip flops into long combinational paths can reduce
design glitches. Flip flops do not allow glitches to propagate through combinational
paths, resulting in reduced power dissipation in combinational logic. However, if
there are not many glitches in your design, pipelining may increase power
consumption due to the addition of unnecessary registers.
