13 years agoPower Estimator Discrepancy
I have run Powerplay to get the 'Total Thermal Power Dissipation" figure for my chip. It says about 8.9 W.
However, I then looked in the same tool at the "Current drawn from Voltage supplies". I placed the figures in a spreadsheet which showed a power consumption of nearly 10 W. Am I interpreting this correctly? If so there seems to be a large discrepancy. Any advice helps.
