power calculation in fpga

if you look on the Xilinx web-site they have power calculation tools, you need to know the resources used and the clock frequency, as far as I can remember. Ben

Here is the particular area on Xilinx's web-site :

Xilinx provides 2 types of power estimation tools - pre-implementation (Spreadsheet and Web) and design-based (XPower).

Both pre-implementation tools are directly accessible from the above site and, as Benjamin points out, require resource and frequency i/ps from the users.

XPower comes as part of ISE and requires a design that has been at least mapped. (It also operates on a placed design or on a placed & routed design.)

All three tools support V2.

Regards,

Brendan
