  If I may chip in (no pun intended), Enpirion (now part of Altera) has
  high reliability power modules that are tuned to FPGA (and DDR3) power
  delivery requirement. The cost is reasonable, and they are very compact.

  FPGA power requirement determination must be done by the FPGA designer
  himself, due to the complex design features that affect power
  dissipation, and possibly be done with the help of the Xilinx power
  estimator tool at
