2 Input Spreadsheet

There are two types of input spreadsheets: the simplified input spreadsheet is designed for estimating the power for a single application scenario and the advanced input spreadsheet has additional columns (slots) for multiple application scenarios. The power estimates from the advanced spreadsheet are an average power of the multiple application scenarios (slots) configured in the input spreadsheet.

The input spreadsheet consists of four sections: High-Level System Configuration, Processors, Peripherals, and Analog Modules. To use the input spreadsheet, modify the input fields with the appropriate usage parameters. Cells that are designed for user input are light green in color. Configure the light green cells to a value most closely aligned with your intended scenario.

The purpose of each of the four sections is explained below:

  • Section A: configure the high-level system configuration such as junction temperature and power estimation mode
  • Section B: configure processor subsystem components
  • Section C: configure peripherals
  • Section D: configure analog modules
