Support for the automotive-grade Cyclone II devices is only available in the
Quartus II software version 7.2 SP1 and later.
Altera provides the following power analysis and estimation tools for your design:

The PowerPlay Early Power Estimator (EPE) is a power estimation tool that helps you
estimate the power consumption of your design during the system planning phase for
proper power supply planning and consideration. The EPE allows you to enter design
information based on architectural features and calculates the power consumed by
each architectural feature. Inputs to the EPE are environmental conditions and device
resources (such as clock frequency, RAM blocks, and DSP blocks) that you expect to
use in your design. The EPE then calculates the static and dynamic power, current
estimates, and thermal analysis for the design.
You can either enter the design information manually into the spreadsheet or import a
power estimator file of a fully or partially completed design from the Quartus II
software. After importing a file, you can edit some of the input parameters including
V
your system requirements.
The value obtained from the EPE is only an estimation and should not be used as a
specification. The accuracy of the EPE results is dependent on how close your input of
the design information into the EPE resembles that of the final design.
For more information about the EPE, and how to generate and import the power
estimator file, refer to the
FPGAs.
The PowerPlay Power Analyzer tool in the Quartus II software is a power analysis
tool that helps you calculate your design power consumption accurately to ensure
thermal and power supply budgets are not violated after your design is complete. The
PowerPlay Power Analyzer tool requires your design to be synthesized and fitted to
the target device. Availability of information such as design resources, how the
design is placed and routed on the target device, and the I/O standards assigned to
each I/O cell allow the PowerPlay Power Analyzer tool to provide accurate power
estimation.
The process of using the PowerPlay Power Analyzer tool consists of three parts:
specifying sources of input data, specifying operating conditions, and running the
PowerPlay Power Analyzer tool.
