PowerPlay Early Power Estimator Inputs
Figure 3–8. I/O Power Representation
The V
REF
pins consume minimal current (less than 10 μA) and is
negligible when compared to the power consumed by the general
purpose I/O pins. Therefore, the PowerPlay Early Power Estimator
spreadsheet does not include the current for V
REF
pins in the calculations.
Each row in the I/O section represents a design module where the I/O
pins have the same frequency, toggle percentage, average capacitive load,
I/O standard, drive strength, on-chip termination, data rate, and I/O
bank. You must enter the following parameters for each design module:
■ I/O standard
■ Drive strength/On-chip termination
■ Clock frequency (f
MAX
) in MHz
■ Number of output, input, and bidirectional pins
■ I/O bank
■ Pin toggle percentage
■ Output enable percentage
■ Average capacitance of the load
■ I/O data rate
