A. Measuring Static Power

5.2. Temperature

To accurately predict static power, the Early Power Estimator requires junction temperature information for each part of the design. For best accuracy, you should use the Thermal worksheet to perform detailed thermal modeling, followed by detailed computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of your overall system. For additional information, refer to AN-787: Thermal Modeling and Management.
