Using the Power Estimation Tool

The spreadsheet consists of following 3 sections: Processing Elements, Interfaces and Power Report.

To use the input part the spreadsheet, users must modify the fields with the appropriate usage parameters. Cells designed for user input are in Yellow. Fields that cannot be modified are Gray. Fields in blue are the output calculated power. Configure the yellow cells to a value most closely aligned with your intended scenario.

The purpose of each of these sections is:

  • Processing Elements:
    • Configure frequency of operation for R5F Dual Core 0, HSM M4, ICSSM0,ICSSM1, and CPSW
    • Mode of operation for R5F and HSM (Hardware Security Module)
    • User estimated percent utilization of each core
Note: For Single Core device power estimations, please use the respective Dual Core setting at 50% utilization.
  • Interfaces
    • Subset of commonly used major Interfaces with selectable operating modes
    • Subset of commonly used major Interfaces with percent utilization
  • Power Report:
    • Selectable VDD, VDD_SRAM, VDDA
    • Power estimation output by rail
    • Power rails are aligned with AM261x SOM/LP EVM design
