For Agilex™ 7 and Stratix® 10 devices, the Intel FPGA Power and Thermal Calculator (PTC) is integrated with Quartus® Prime software to help you estimate power consumption and preliminary thermal assessments of your design. Run the PTC by selecting Tools > Power and Thermal Calculator in the Quartus® Prime GUI. You can also download a standalone version from the Power Estimators (EPE) and Power Analyzer page of the Intel® FPGA Support Resources website.

For other device families, use the Early Power Estimation (EPE) tool. The EPE tool is a spreadsheet tool that helps you estimate power consumption at early design concept. Download the EPE tool from the Power Estimators (EPE) and Power Analyzer page on the Intel® FPGA Support Resources website.

The Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Power Analyzer tool performs post-fitting power analysis and generates a report that details power consumption of the design by block type and entity. To open the Power Analyzer tool, click Processing > Power Analyzer Tool.
