<p>A method comprises receiving a description of a power distribution network of acircuit, defining at least one DC supernode in the power distribution network, receivinga logical description of the circuit, and determining at least one logic pathin the circuit. The method further comprises traversing the at least one logicpath in reverse and determining at least one input vector of the at least one logicpath. The input vector describes a plurality of nodes in the logic path and a logictransition at an output node occurring in response to a combination of logic transitionsat at least one input node in the at least one logic path. The method further comprisesassigning a weighting value to each logic transition of each node in the at leastone input vector, identifying at least one input vector with maximum contributionto drawing power from the power distribution network as indicated by the assignedweighting, and simulating an AC response of the identified at least one inputvector with maxi mum contribution and identifying at least one logic path generatinga peak load to the power distribution network.</p> |
