Abstract
Approaches for estimating power consumption of an electronic circuit from values of configuration parameters. A user is prompted for values of a first subset of the configuration parameters in a first user interface window that is separate from a second user interface window that provides default values of a second subset of the configuration parameters. An estimated level of power consumption of the electronic circuit is determined by a computer as a function of the user-entered values of the first subset of parameters and the default values of the second subset of parameters. The estimated level of power consumption, the user-entered values of the first subset of parameters, and the default values of the second subset of parameters are simultaneously displayed in a third user interface window. The values of both the first subset and second subset of parameters are editable in the third user interface window.
