Power estimator FPGA

Dear Intel FPGA Support Team,

I am currently conducting a technical assessment involving various Intel FPGA families (Arria V/10, Stratix V/10, Agilex) for cryogenic quantum control electronics. To support this work, I need to estimate the power consumption of these devices under the following specific conditions:

  • 20 % logic utilization

  • One JESD204B lane active at 6.25 Gbps

  • Operating frequency: 250 MHz

  • Ambient temperature: 20 °C

I have attempted to use the Power and Thermal Calculator (PTC) tools provided on your website. However, the available files appear to have a .xls extension and macros are disabled or missing, preventing the proper use of the estimation functions.

Therefore, I kindly request one of the following:

  1. Instructions to correctly run the PTC with JESD204B configuration in the above conditions (including access to a .xlsm macro-enabled version if required),
    or

  2. If possible, that your team performs the simulation for the specified FPGA families and sends back the resulting power estimates.

This data is critical to completing a comparative study of suitable FPGAs for scalable, energy-efficient control systems in quantum computing.

Thank you for your help and support.

Best regards,
Ludwig Jules
