Estimating Power Consumption

You can use the PowerPlay EPE spreadsheet to estimate the power consumption at

any point of your design cycle. You can use the PowerPlay EPE spreadsheet to

estimate the power consumption if you have not begun your design, or if your design

is not complete.

1 While the PowerPlay EPE spreadsheet can provide you with an estimate for your

complete design, Altera recommends using the PowerPlay Power Analyzer in the

Quartus II software to obtain this estimate for your complete design because the

PowerPlay Power Analyzer can give you a more accurate analysis of your exact

routing and the various modes of operation.
