In the estimation result of PowerPlay Early Power Estimator (EPE), the power consumption estimated from the current value x voltage of Power Supply Current (A) and TOTAL of Thermal Power (W) are different. Why?
The difference between Power Supply Current (A) and Thermal Power (W) is caused by "include/exclude" the power consumption of off-chip termination resistance in the estimated value.
For Power Supply Current (A), ICCO includes off-chip termination resistors.
Thermal Power (W) does not include off-chip termination resistor values.
