This calculation provides an ICC estimate based on typical conditions with
no output load. The actual ICC should be verified during operation
because this measurement is sensitive to the actual pattern in the device
and the environmental operating conditions.
To better reflect actual designs, the power model (and the constant K in
the power calculation equations shown above) for continuous
interconnect FLEX devices assumes that LEs drive FastTrack Interconnect
channels. In contrast, the power model of segmented FPGAs assumes that
all LEs drive only one short interconnect segment. This assumption may
lead to inaccurate results, compared to measured power consumption for
an actual design in a segmented interconnect FPGA.
Figure 20 shows the relationship between the current and operating
frequency for EPF6010A, EPF6016, EPF6016A, and EPF6024A devices.
