Bitstream Compression

When you generate a bitstream for Titanium Topaz FPGAs, the Efinity® software compresses the bitstream by default. This compression results in a bitstream size that is about half of the maximum size.

Refer to AN 033: Configuring Titanium FPGAs for the bitstream sizes.

Important: If you are using the Titanium or Topaz security features (AES-256 encryption and/or asymmetric authentication), the software cannot compress the bitstream. Therefore, compression is disabled when you use these features.
