Power and Thermal Analyzer (PTA)

Run power and thermal analysis quickly across devices, Speed grades, IP types; automate “what-if” and batch runs with TCL scripting

Intuitive UI with Graphical reporting, hierarchy-first display, sortable columns, and native redo/undo for easier debugging

Trusted PTC-level power estimation across FPGA device families 

Use as a standalone tool or integrated within Quartus to fit your workflow. Import .ptc/ .qptcfiles for seamless migration. Export, import, and reuse PTA data across designs for consistent analysis.

Faster setup with row-based entry and view filtering, plus real-time error highlighting and improved debug usability

Guided setup plus accurate modeling of hard IP - EMIF, PCI Express, high-speed transceivers (Device dependent)

Assess and optimize thermal performance with flexible calculation modes

From 25.3, PTA is the supported tool for, accurate, and flexible power and thermal analysis. Engineers can seamlessly migrate from legacy PTC workflows without losing project data.
Simply select Import PTC File when creating a project. All PTC data—including design hierarchy, resource usage, and power profiles—is automatically imported, letting you continue analysis, run “what-if” scenarios, and leverage enhanced reporting with minimal setup.
