Why does the Cyclone® V FPGA Early Power Estimator fail to report a Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) power change when changing Differential Output Voltage (VOD) and Pre-Emphasis settings?

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

If you change any transceiver PMA settings (e.g., VOD or Pre Emphasis), the Channel Power and overall device power remain the same when using the Cyclone® V FPGA Early Power Estimator (EPE).

This is because these settings are pending characterization.

Resolution

Power estimation for different PMA settings will be included in a future release of the Cyclone V FPGA EPE.
