EclipsePlus Family Data Sheet Rev. A
Figure 24 illustrates the theoretical worst-case scenarios for 50%, 70%, and 90% utilizations of the
QL7160/QL7180-516 package. The resources of the device are divided exactly in half; meaning, for 50%
utilization, exactly 50% of the I/Os, Logic Cells, RAM blocks, clock network, etc. are utilized. These situations
may never occur in a real design, but they do provide a very rough quantitative measure of power consumption
when talking in terms of 50% or 70% utilization of an EclipsePlus device.
