HardCopy Stratix PowerPlay Early Power Estimator

The HardCopy^® Stratix^® PowerPlay early power estimator is based on preliminary power data. Results using this calculator are considered preliminary.

This PowerPlay early power estimator provides an estimate of I_CC and total power consumed for any HardCopy Stratix device, based on typical conditions. This calculation should only be used as an estimation of power, not as a specification. The actual I_CC should be verified during operation because this measurement is dependent on the design and the environmental operating conditions.

This PowerPlay early power estimator can also be launched from the Quartus^® II software, version 3.0 and later, in which case the necessary fields are populated with the design details obtained from the Quartus II software. The user can modify these details if necessary.
