Efficient algorithms for multilevel power estimation of VLSI circuits.

Efficient algorithms for multilevel power estimation of VLSI circuits.

This paper presents a methodology for calculating highly accurate mean power estimates for integrated digital CMOS circuits. A complementary calibration scheme for ASIC library cells to extract the power relevant parameters is proposed. The circuit models presented allows the prediction of mean powe...
