Hi everyone.

This is my power report from Design Compiler.

Code:
****************************************
Report : power
        -analysis_effort low

Power-specific unit information :
    Voltage Units = 1V
    Capacitance Units = 1.000000pf
    Time Units = 1ns
    Dynamic Power Units = 1mW    (derived from V,C,T units)
    Leakage Power Units = 1pW


  Cell Internal Power  =  37.7363 uW   (64%)

My questions are
1. Which is the total static power?
2. From what I know, total power is the summation of static power and dynamic power. Do cell leakage power included in the total power calculation?
3. Can anyone kindly explain to me the difference between FPGA and ASIC and how does the different affects the total power calculation?
 

1 - static = leakage
2 - static = leakage
3 - completely different solutions for completely different problems. in asics your building blocks are cells, in fpga the building blocks are 'macro cells' that can implement lots of functions in one. because of that flexibility, fpga implementations tend to be one order of magnitude slower/power hungry.
 

So it is okay to use the total power formula that ive describe?
The total power 6.6055e-02 mW is the total power?

I will let you come to your own conclusion on this one.
What you are asking is the equivalent to is 2+2 = 4?
