3.8.1. Static Power and Dynamic Current per Voltage Rail

The Report worksheet shows all the information and power estimation results from the Early Power Estimator (EPE) spreadsheet. You can find the power supply recommendations in the Power Supply Current (A) section, which describes all the power supply requirements for the device that your design uses in the Min Current Requirement (A) and the User Mode Current Requirement (A) columns.
