XPower

XPower offers detailed power analysis and estimation for programmable logic.

XPower allows you to analyze total device power, power per-net, routed, partially routed or unrouted designs. XPower provides a comprehensive graphical user interface (GUI), or command-line driven batch-mode. XPower can read HDL simulation data to quickly set estimation stimulus, reducing setup time.

At the beginning of the design process, XPower provides a "New Design Wizard", a step-by-step dialog which helps users import design and simulation data, and set loading and default data.

XPower utilizes device knowledge and design data to estimate device power and individual net power utilization. Information is presented in both HTML and ASCII report formats.
