2. Introduction
The Intel® FPGA Power and Thermal Calculator (PTC) provides thermal design parameters for Intel® Agilex™ devices. The PTC is available as a standalone tool for use with early-stage designs, and as an integrated tool within the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, for thermal calculations with later-stage FPGA designs, for higher accuracy.
This application note explains the necessary steps for thermal design for an Intel® Agilex™ FPGA using the PTC, and highlights differences in procedure between design targeting Intel® Agilex™ and Intel® Stratix® 10 devices.
The following topics introduce the necessary terminology, tools, and collateral necessary for the thermal analysis:
