Thermal Power
Thermal power is the power dissipated in the Cyclone II device. The total
thermal power is shown in Watts and is a sum of the thermal power of all
the resources being used in the device. The total thermal power includes
the maximum power from standby and dynamic power.

The total thermal power only includes the thermal component
for the I/O section and does not include the external power
dissipation, such as from voltage referenced termination
resistors.
Figure 3–21 shows the total thermal power in Watts. The thermal power
for each section is also displayed. To see how the thermal power for a
section was calculated, click on the section to view the inputs entered for
that section.
