The basic power equation which best models power consumption is given below:
PTOTAL = 0.350 + f[0.0031 ηLC + 0.0948 ηCKBF + 0.01 ηCLBF+ 0.0263 ηCKLD+
0.543 ηRAM + 0.20 ηPLL+ 0.0035 ηINP + 0.0257 ηOUTP] (mW)
Where
ηLC is the total number of logic cells in the design
ηCKBF = # of clock buffers
ηCLBF = # of column clock buffers
ηCKLD = # of loads connected to the column clock buffers
ηRAM = # of RAM blocks
ηPLL = # of PLLs
ηINP is the number of input pins
ηOUTP is the number of output pins

)LJXUH illustrates the theoretical worst-case scenarios for 50%, 70%, and 90% utilizations
of the 6600-516 package. The resources of the device are divided exactly in half; meaning,
for 50% utilization, exactly 50% of the I/Os, Logic Cells, RAM blocks, clock network, etc
are utilized. These situations may never occur in a real design, but they do provide a very
rough quantitative measure of power consumption when talking in terms of 50% or 70%
utilization of an EclipsePlus device.
