1.1.1.4.1. Supply Current and Power Consumption
Intel offers two ways to estimate power for your design—the Excel-based Early Power Estimator (EPE) and the Intel® Quartus® Prime Power Analyzer feature.
Use the Excel-based EPE before you start your design to estimate the supply current for your design. The EPE provides a magnitude estimate of the device power because these currents vary greatly with the resources you use.
The Intel® Quartus® Prime Power Analyzer provides better quality estimates based on the specifics of the design after you complete place-and-route. The Power Analyzer can apply a combination of user-entered, simulation-derived, and estimated signal activities that, when combined with detailed circuit models, yields very accurate power estimates.
