Hello, How can I calculate area of design hardware in xilinx
 

Re: power calculation in VHDL

I believe what you're trying to find out is the "utilisation". This information is in the place and route (par) report or if you're using vivado you'll see it in the project window after you've synthesised or implemented the design.
 

Re: power calculation in VHDL

place and route report , I do't find area in it.

 

Re: power calculation in VHDL

This is the resource utilization:

Number of BUFGMUXs 1 out of 24 4%
Number of MULT18X18SIOs 1 out of 16 6%
Number of Slices 30 out of 1792 1%
Number of SLICEMs 1 out of 896 1%

1 clock buffer,
1 hard IP DSP multiplier
30 slices (up to 8 FF's and 4 LUTs)
1 distributed memory.
 

With this information how can i calculate area required by my hardware ?
 

I don't know how the concept of area plays out in an FPGA. The FPGA is already manufactured. So nothing left to optimize. As far as "fitting as much logic goes into an FPGA" the above stats pointed out by ads-ee should be a good indicator to how much resources are used and how much is left.

Since you continue to want the "area" rather than the "utilisation"...

Find the part number and package outline. Look in the datasheet to see the package dimensions. Multiply the length by the width.
 
tggzzz is talking about physical area.

Whereas add-ee and I are talking about logical utilisation.

Please mark thread as solved if one of these answers your question.
 

yes wesleytaylor , I am talking about logical area

I have attached IC details , how can I calculate area consume by my logic

I believe, "logical area" (not a commonly used technical term) means the actual chip area occupied by the utilized resources of your design (as listed in post #4). But why do you want this information? It's effectively meaningless for a FPGA user, only relevant for a manufacturer that wants to optimize his chip.

The area information (if you had it) neither tells much about the required chip size when implementing the logic in a different technlogy than FPGA, nor does it describe the complete area uitilization in the FPGA because routing resources aren't counted.
