Determining toggle rate for the power estimate

I need to determine toggle rate for the power estimate of a new FPGA design. Simulation VCD is not available. It's a very large design, and simply using default 12.5% is not going to work - I n...

Thanks Alex.

That's what I thought intuitively: just measure the power on a working platform under different operating conditions, and correlate those with power estimates.

Then use that correlation model for similar designs.
