Honored Contributori want to know how to get dynamic power in altera cyclone II family
Iam getting only static power,I/O power what steps to be follow? give one example for simple nand gate with input 00 and 01.how to find dynaic power in altera Thanx in advance
Honored ContributorHave a look at the following for Cyclone II devices: powerplay early power estimator user guide for cyclone ii fpgas (http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_cyc2epe.pdf)
Download the appropriate spreadsheet from here: powerplay early power estimators (http://www.altera.com/support/devices/estimator/pow-powerplay.jsp) Regards, AlexHonored ContributorHai Alex,
i tried with power play estimiators but iam getting only thermal power.i need to calculate dynamic power. already i tried with cyclone II userguide.it is asking to generate vcd file.generated vcd file also. next step asking to generate sdf file.how to proceed dont know..Honored ContributorStep 1) run a modelsim gate level simulation and set it to generate the .vcd file. The simulation must be long enough and with enaugh variations on the inputs to be representative of the actual working conditions of your circuit.
step 2) change the power analyzer settings abd tell it to use the generated .vdc file step 3) run the power analyzer. Read the data, Verify the confidence metrics to see if there are signals that are not properly stimulated by your simulation.
