Hello

I used the VCD file from my Testbench.

My Testbench has 2 Ram instantiations and my top module instantiation. The two rams act as an external memory.

I used the VCD file for my power analyzer tool

My result makes no sense to me

Power dissipated for I/O thermal: 2574mW

I am only using 139 pins.


When I dont use a VCD file, and I set the toggle rates to be 50% for all pins ( I assumed 50% is the highest)



Power dissipated for I/O thermal: ~100mW


I attached the Results as well.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
