3.2. Early Power Estimator Output Fields

Output fields display estimated values for power, current, temperature, or resource utilization for a design specification that you have entered into the Early Power Estimator.

Some output fields, such as thermal power estimates in the Main and Report worksheets, may display values in red to indicate an error in the design specification. If you encounter results displayed in red, review the relevant worksheet for errors or utilization values exceeding 100%. Correct any errors to obtain reliable power and temperature estimates.
