20.2.19 Cycle-Accurate Power Analysis

The Cycle-Accurate Power Analysis reports cycle-accurate power data in a graphical form. In the analysis window, you can specify ranges and compute averages for each range, define a list of watched blocks, obtain power usage of a single block or cycle, or obtain power usage of multiple blocks over several cycles.

To generate a cycle-accurate power analysis:

1. From the SmartPower Tools menu, select cycle-accurate Power Analysis; or select a vcd file from the Modes and Scenarios toolbar, and from the right-click menu, select Tools > cycle-accurate Power Analysis. The cycle-accurate Power Analysis dialog box appears.
2. Select the options you want to include in the report, and then click OK. The cycle-accurate power report appears in a separate window.

The cycle-accurate power analysis dialog box is organized in the following panels: General, Sampling Period, Partial Parsing, Top-Level Name, and Glitch Filtering.
