This calculation should only be used as an estimation of power, not as a
specification. The actual I_CC should be verified during operation because
this estimate is sensitive to the actual logic in the device and the
environmental operating conditions.
For more information about simulation-based power estimation, refer to
the Power Estimation and Analysis Section in volume 3 of the Quartus II
Handbook.
1 On average, HardCopy Stratix devices are expected to consume
40% less power than the equivalent FPGA.
HardCopy APEX Early Power Estimation
The PowerPlay Early Power Estimator can be run from the Altera website
in the device support section
(http://www.altera.com/support/devices/dvs-index.html). You cannot
open this feature in the Quartus II software.
With the HardCopy APEX PowerPlay Early Power Estimator, you can
estimate the power consumed by HardCopy APEX devices and design
systems with the appropriate power budget. Refer to the web page for
instructions on using the HardCopy APEX PowerPlay Early Power
Estimator.
1 HardCopy APEX devices are generally expected to consume
about 40% less power than the equivalent APEX 20KE or
APEX 20KC FPGA devices.
