5 Power Estimation Tool

TI provides the Power Estimation Tool (PET) based on the processor power model created from measured and simulated data. Developers gain insight into the power consumption of AM62x processors for various application scenarios, electrical parameters, silicon process variations, and environmental conditions before they start designing hardware and software. The power estimations from the tool can be used for deciding the operating performance points of the AM62x processor, evaluating thermal design, or estimating the battery lifetime of the end products. The tool allows the developer to choose different operating conditions and processor configurations to make a trade-off between operating performance and power consumption with various power-saving techniques. This tool estimates power consumption during realistic operating modes and is not intended for power supply sizing.
