Power Considerations
Power Estimators and Calculators are available for each AMD device family. Web Power Tools and Spreadsheet Tools are pre-implementation tools that estimate a design's power consumption based on the expected utilization of device resources, operating frequencies and toggle rates. Once the design has been implemented in AMD software tools, you can use XPower to precisely and accurately estimate the power consumption of your design.
