Table 15.  Input Parameter Information
Input Parameter Description
HPS System Switch Turns the HPS system on or off. This selection affects the static power.
Total HPS Power (W) Specifies the total power dissipated by the active processors (in W).
VCCL_HPS Voltage (mV) Specifies the core HPS voltage (in mV).
Table 16.  General Settings in the HPS Worksheet
Setting Description
Power Rails The name of the specific power rail.
Voltage (V) The voltage applied to the specified power rail (in V).
Standby Current (A) The standby current drawn from the specified power rail (in A).
Dynamic Current (A) Component of active current drawn from the specified power rail due to signal activity of all modules on this worksheet (in A). This current is independent of device size, device grade, power characteristics and junction temperature.
