4.1. Power Estimation and Analysis Tools

Power consumption is a critical design consideration. When designing a PCB, you must determine the power consumption of the FPGA device to develop an accurate power budget, and to design the power supplies, voltage regulators, heat sink, and cooling system.

Two power estimation and analysis tools are supported for Agilex™ 7 devices:

  • Intel® FPGA Power and Thermal Calculator (PTC)—estimates power supply and system thermal requirements before compiling the design, or anytime during the design phase.
  • Quartus® Prime Power Analyzer (QPA)—estimates power consumption for a post-fit design.
