Scripting Information

Keyword: power_use_device_characteristics

Settings: typical | maximum

Important: Power analyses performed with the Device power characteristics option set to Typical are based on the average power consumed by typical silicon at nominal operating conditions. For FPGA board power supply design, set the Device power characteristics option to Maximum to obtain worst-case values.
Note:

The Device power characteristics setting affects PowerPlay Power Analysis only. Timing analysis always assumes the power characteristics of a worst-case device.
