Wi-Fi Power Estimator
The Wi-Fi Power Estimator is a specialized analysis tool integrated into Simplicity Studio v6 and also compatible with Simplicity Studio v5 and can be found on the web. It is designed to assist developers in evaluating the expected power consumption of devices based on Silicon Labs’ Wi-Fi 917 SoC series. It facilitates early-stage power profiling using static, datasheet-derived values. This enables preliminary system-level power budget assessments without requiring physical measurements or live testing environments.
