User Guide
1 In smaller applications with the Arria V development board, a heat sink is not
necessary. However, under extreme conditions (or for engineering sample silicon), the
board might require additional cooling to stay within operating temperature
guidelines. The board has two holes near the FPGA that accommodate many different
heat sinks, including the Dynatron V31G. You can perform power consumption and
thermal modeling to determine whether your application requires additional cooling.
For information about measuring board and FPGA power in real time, refer to “The
Power Monitor” on page 5–16 .
f For more information about power consumption and thermal modeling,
refer to
AN 358: Thermal Management for FPGAs .
