1.1. Accessing the Power and Thermal Calculators
For convenience, the Power and Thermal Calculator (PTC) is available either as a standalone application, or embedded within the Quartus® Prime software. Each version has a different method to access and launch.
Intel® FPGA PTC Version | Description | Access and Run | |
---|---|---|---|
Embedded Intel® FPGA PTC | Launched from within the Quartus® Prime software. Populates the PTC from project settings and compilation results. The PTC assumes the current device selected in the Quartus® Prime software. If the current device is not supported by the PTC, it assumes a default device and displays an informative message. |
In the Quartus® Prime software, click Tools > Power and Thermal Calculator, or type the quartus_ptc command in the Quartus® Prime software command shell. | |
Standalone Intel® FPGA PTC | Runs independently from the Quartus® Prime software and includes all features in the embedded PTC. You input all data manually, or import from a .ptc file. Helpful in early design when power and cooling requirements are necessary but RTL is not yet available. | Available from the Additional Software tab of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition page of the Download Center for FPGAs .
