2.1.1. Dynamic Power Equation

The following equation shows how to calculate dynamic power where P is power, C is the load capacitance, and V is the supply voltage level. The frequency refers to the clock frequency and data toggles once every clock cycle.

Figure 1. Dynamic Power Equation


The equation shows that power is design-dependent. Power is dependent on the operating frequency of your design, applied voltage, and load capacitance, which depends on design connectivity. Stratix® 10 devices minimize static and dynamic power using advanced process optimizations. These optimizations allow Stratix® 10 designs to meet specific performance requirements with the lowest possible power.
