HardCopy APEX 20KE & HardCopy APEX 20KC PowerPlay Early Power Estimator

The HardCopy® APEX 20KE and HardCopy APEX 20KC devices provide an ICC estimate for any HardCopy APEX 20KE or HardCopy APEX 20KC device, based on typical conditions. This calculation should only be used as an estimation of power, not as a specification. The actual ICC should be verified during operation because this measurement is sensitive to the actual pattern in the device and the environmental operating conditions.

Using the HardCopy APEX 20KE & HardCopy APEX 20KC PowerPlay Early Power Estimator

To use the estimator, you must have JavaScript enabled in your browser. Select a HardCopy APEX 20KE or HardCopy APEX 20KC device from the drop-down box. Enter values for any power consumption category and clock domain, then click Calculate. To get help with the categories, click the underlined column headings. Non-zero defaults represent values for typical conditions.

Follow the steps below to start the PowerPlay early power estimator. You can perform any number of these steps in any order.

Step 1: Select device & logic element (LEs)
Step 2: Enter embedded system block (ESB) power consumption
Step 3: Enter I/O power consumption information
Step 4: Enter power/thermal requirement evaluation
Step 5: Get a printable summary
