PET provides users the ability to gain insight in to the power consumption of select Sitara & OMAP processors. The tool includes the ability for the user to choose multiple application scenarios and understand the power consumption as well as how advanced power saving techniques can be applied to further reduce overall power consumption.
PET is comprised of three modules:
- Download input spreadsheet - this downloadable spreadsheet is the mechanism in which users input device parameters needed for their application. Parameters include IP activities/loadings, desired power states, and power management usages. Multiple operating conditions can be applied along with time slots for each state.
- Upload spreadsheet - upon completion of the input spreadsheet, users can then upload the spreadsheet to TI for the power consumption analysis. Registration and legal agreement acceptance is required for the upload.
- Power estimation report - contains the information on power consumption based on the spreadsheet upload. The report includes information leakage, active and total average power, as well as power management voltages, if Smart Reflex is utilized, will be sent to the user via email.
Detailed information about PET can be found on the following Wiki locations:
