4.1. Early Power Estimator
The Early Power Estimator (EPE) is a power estimation tool that helps you estimate the power consumption of your design during the system planning phase for proper power supply planning and consideration.
The EPE allows you to enter design information based on architectural features and calculates the power consumed by each architectural feature. Inputs to the EPE are environmental conditions and device resources (such as clock frequency, RAM blocks, and digital signal processing [DSP] blocks) that you expect to use in your design. The EPE then calculates the static and dynamic power, current estimates, and thermal analysis for the design.
You can either enter the design information manually into the spreadsheet or import a power estimator file of a fully or partially completed design from the Quartus® Prime software. After importing a file, you can edit some of the input parameters including VCCINT, ambient temperature, airflow, clock frequency, and toggle percentage to suit your system requirements.
The value obtained from the EPE is only an estimation and should not be used as a specification. The accuracy of the EPE results depends on how close your input of the design information into the EPE resembles that of the final design.
For more information about the EPE, and how to generate and import the power estimator file, refer to the respective user guides.
