About Power Analysis and Optimization (ODSWPWR1)

Designing for low-power in todays high-speed FPGA designs is more important than ever. Knowing the final designs power usage early in the design process is necessary for making power supply design and power budgeting decisions. This training will give you the knowledge and tools you need to perform highly accurate estimates of power usage using the Quartus® II software v. 12.0. Youll learn about how to set up and use the PowerPlay suite of tools to generate detailed reports on both static and dynamic power in the design. Once you know how to perform a power analysis, youll see how to optimize a design to minimize power through the use of power-driven compilation options and design guidelines.
