Problem Title:
XPLA Architecture: Fast Zero Power FZP parts drawing too much current.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: Why are my Fast Zero Power parts are drawing
too much current?


Solution 1:

Here is a list of common problems that cause high current:

---I/O or Bus contention may be an issue
---Unused inputs must be terminated to prevent floating voltages
    which put transistors into the linear region
---Clock networks present a hefty capacitance load internally
---Power up current surge requirements must be met
---ISP operations take a lot of power as explained in (Xilinx Solution 7573)
