Rugged Power
Military applications and systems including rugged handheld computers or TabletPCs, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs), mission computers, avionics, radar, telemetry, sonar, and manpacks - to name just a few - are based on disparate technologies. And, they all ... Morehave differing roles within the mission and on the battlefield. The only design commonality among all of them is that they all need power - and specifically "rugged power" - to bring them to life. These harsh-environment, mil-deployable power technologies are all designed (or uprated via HALT/HASS testing) to meet the rigors of the modern battlefield. They must meet MIL-SPEC and other mission-specific requirements for extreme shock, vibration, and temperature levels. These "ruggedized" power technologies include power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, fuel cells, power adapters, and more, all ready for the demands of today's front lines.

White Paper: Lowering Power at 28 nm with Xilinx 7 Series FPGAs
4 days ago — Jameel Hussein, Xilinx, Inc.This white paper describes several aspects of power related to the Xilinx(r) 28 nm 7 series FPGAs, including the TSMC 28 nm high-k metal gate (HKMG), high performance, low power (28 nm HPL or 28 HPL) process choice. The power benefits afforded by the 28 HPL process and its usefulness across Xilinx’s full product offerings is described as well as the architectural innovations and features for power reduction across the dimensions of static power, dynamic power, and I/O power.
