3.1. Intel® FPGA PTC Select Family Dialog Box

When you launch the Intel® FPGA Power and Thermal Calculator (PTC) standalone, or without an open Quartus® Prime project, the Select Family dialog box appears automatically to allow you to select the Intel® FPGA family for your Intel® FPGA PTC calculations.

When you launch the Intel® FPGA PTC embedded version with an open Quartus® Prime project, the Intel® FPGA PTC obtains the device information from the project. Alternatively, you can turn on Open an existing PTC file in this dialog box to load the power data for a previously saved design hierarchy.

Figure 11. Select Family Dialog Box

Select the desired device family, and click OK.

Note:
  • Once you select a device family to model, you cannot change that selection unless you start a new Intel® FPGA PTC instance.
  • Currently, the Intel® FPGA PTC supports the Agilex™ 5, Agilex™ 7 and Stratix® 10 FPGA device families. The Intel® FPGA PTC pages have some differences, depending on the device family you select.
