How to use it
- Enter component power.
- Enter a nonnegative margin and optional cooling capacity.
- Calculate and compare the simple estimate.
Thermal Design Power Calculator
Apply a simple margin to component power and compare optional cooling capacity.

About the Thermal Design Power Calculator
This estimator adds a percentage margin to a stated power value.
Formula
Required cooling estimate equals power times one plus margin percentage.
Example
100 W with a 20% margin gives a 120 W estimate.
