17 years agoI didn't use Altera power calculation tools with DDR2 RAM and don't know about their algorithms. I also can't say, if the results are matching real life behaviour.
P.S.: My real life measurements are: - Arria GX (no dynamic OCT) - SSTL18 Class I termination (optional DQ/DQS Class II termination unused) - 2GB SODIMM (64 bit) - 400 MHz data rate - Continuous memory test with 128x4 read and write burst (near 100 % duty cycle) 2.05 A/1.8V total power consumption (VCCIO, RAM and LP2997 termination regulator) with individual 1x4 bursts (arbitary access), the supply current reduces to 1.45 A With Stratix III dynamic OCT, some additional power consumption of parallel termination can be expected
