2.3.1.1. Entering Information into the Early Power Estimator

You can either enter power information into the Early Power Estimator (EPE) spreadsheet manually or load an EPE file generated by the Quartus® Prime software. You can also clear all current values in the EPE spreadsheet by clicking the Reset button on the Main worksheet.

To use the EPE spreadsheet, enter the device resources, operating frequency, toggle rates, and other parameters in the EPE spreadsheet. If you do not have an existing design, you must estimate the number of device resources your design uses and enter the information into the EPE spreadsheet.
