Are there any recommendations on lowering power consumption in a Xilinx XC9500/XL/XV CPLD?

解决方案

The Application Note "Understanding XC9500XL CPLD Power" (Xilinx XAPP114) discusses power consumption in a Xilinx 9500XL device.

This information is also applicable to the other XC9500 family devices (XC9500, XC9500XV), but not the CoolRunner-II/XPLA3 families.

The simplest way to immediately lower power consumption in the XC9500 family is to change the macrocells to operate in low-power mode. However, this does cause the propagation delays to increase.

Details on setting the power mode in the software can be found in (Xilinx Answer 2146).
