Exploring Temperature, Power, and Hardware Utilization in Half Adder Implementation on FPGA Platforms

This study focused on energy efficiency, investigates the execution of an adder system on several FPGA boards using Vivado Xilinx software. By employing thorough optimization approaches, this research aims to reduce power consumption while maintaining functionality and performance. Thermal analysis is also performed to monitor temperature swings during operation to ensure the system's lifetime and dependability. The study highlights critical heat control and power-saving techniques for long-lasting FPGA-based digital circuitry. The Genesys board consumes 3.824W of power, while the Virtex board uses 3.616W. Power usage varies by 77.2% between the Genesys and Virtex boards. Virtex and Genesys have thermal margins of 73°C and 58.5°C, respectively. The Genesys Board successfully controls energy and temperature when turned on. As a result, low-power, trustworthy computer systems will advance. The findings offer useful advice to designers seeking to increase thermal performance and energy economy in FPGA applications. Genesys board was also proven to be more energy efficient than the Virtex board.
