Steps to calculate power

Use the steps below to calculate your power consumption. The steps are identified by the tabs you should view (in the order you should view them) so that you may analyze your power accurately. Click the various tab names for a description of each tab; click the text in each step to see a more complete explanation of that step.  

  1. Domains tab - Define clock domains and specify a clock frequency and a data frequency for each clock domain.

  2. Activity tab - Specify individual pin frequencies, this step is optional, but gives you a pin-by-pin control of the frequency.

  3. Summary tab - View global power at the design level and view its impact on junction temperature.

  4. Dynamic tab - View detailed hierarchical analysis of your power consumption. This step is also optional. But if your power consumption exceeds your budget, this step will help you to understand where there is room for improvement.
