Meeting the Low Power Imperative
at 28 nm
WP-01158-2.1 White Paper
This document describes how Altera’s 28-nm devices enable product developers to control power consumption in today’s increasingly power sensitive applications.
Introduction
Reducing power consumption in electronic products is no longer just a good idea; for many product developers and manufacturers, it is an essential strategy for gaining competitive advantage in an increasingly power-aware and power-hungry world. Lower power consumption delivers the following clear advantages to designers and end users:
Enables developers to address more power-constrained or thermally-restrictive markets
Provides developers more freedom to increase capabilities within the same thermal and power budget
Lowers operational and material costs and results in more compact products
Reduces stringent cooling requirements
Provides social responsibility benefits
Component suppliers must provide developers and manufacturers with the best options to reduce energy consumption and address this power imperative—or quickly find themselves at significant disadvantage. Altera’s latest generation 28-nm devices empower product developers and manufacturers to directly address the power imperative.
Low Power Imperative
The US Department of Energy predicts that global electricity generation will exceed 20 trillion kilowatt hours (k Wh) by 2015, and 35 trillion k Wh by 2035, as illustrated in

doubled, from over 20 billion k Wh in 2000, to over 40 billion k Wh in 2005. worldwide power consumption for the same functions has similarly doubled in that same time period, going from over 60 billion k Wh in 2000, to over 120 billion k Wh in (3) 2005.
