This chapter provides the terminology used in describing power when implementing Xilinx® devices on a board. It also puts the device development in the greater context of the system being designed and provides a high level description of what to expect at each stage of the design flow. The chapter then describes the Xilinx® tools used for power estimation, analysis, and optimization.
