Power Consumption

You can use the following methods to estimate power for a design:

■

the Excel-based EPE.

■

the Quartus II PowerPlay power analyzer feature.

The interactive Excel-based EPE is used prior to designing the device to get a

magnitude estimate of the device power. The Quartus II PowerPlay power analyzer

provides better quality estimates based on the specifics of the design after place-and-

route is complete. The PowerPlay power analyzer can apply a combination of user-

entered, simulation-derived, and estimated signal activities which, combined with

detailed circuit models, can yield very accurate power estimates.
