As you provide more details about your design characteristics, estimation accuracy is improved with PowerPlay technology. Figure 1. PowerPlay Power Analysis From Design Concept Through Design Implementation Table 1 lists Altera® device families with links to respective PowerPlay early power estimator spreadsheets. If you already have design files or a project set up in the Quartus II software, you can have the Quartus II software generate data to automatically populate the spreadsheets. During implementation, you can refine your power estimates using the Quartus II software's PowerPlay power analyzer tool. Table 1.
