Estimating Power Consumption
You can use the PowerPlay EPE spreadsheet to estimate the power consumption at any point of your
design cycle. You can use the PowerPlay EPE spreadsheet to estimate the power consumption if you have
not begun your design, or if your design is not complete. While the PowerPlay EPE spreadsheet can
provide you with an estimate for your complete design, Altera strongly recommends using the PowerPlay
Power Analyzer in the Quartus II software for precise information of the exact placement and routing
information of the design.
