4. Power Estimation

You must verify the thermal impact of the higher junction excursion temperature on your design by analyzing the power increase with the Intel® FPGA Power and Thermal Calculator (Intel FPGA PTC) or the Intel® Quartus® Prime Power Analyzer.

For Intel FPGA PTC or Intel® Quartus® Prime Power Analyzer support above 100°C, increase the ambient temperature value until the higher excursion junction temperature is reached. You must use the updated total power in your thermal simulation to ensure that the junction temperature does not exceed the maximum excursion junction temperature.
