METHODS FOR GENERATING A CONTRIBUTOR-BASED POWER ABSTRACT FOR A DEVICE

摘要

Generating a contributor-based power abstract for a device, including: identifying a clock power component for each of a plurality of clock gating domains, identifying a switching characteristic for each of the clock gating domains, combining the switching characteristics for all of the clock gating domains into a domain combination list, performing a per-case simulation based at least on the domain combination list, calculating an effective capacitance for each of the clock gating domains based at least on the per-case simulation, and generating a power abstract for each of the clock gating domains based at least on the effective capacitance.

1. A method for generating a contributor-based power abstract for a device, the method comprising:
identifying a clock power component associated with each of a plurality of clock gating domains within an block; identifying a switching characteristic for each of the plurality of clock gating domains; combining the switching characteristics for all of the plurality of clock gating domains into a domain combination list, the domain combination list associated with a power consumption of logic within the block; performing a per-case simulation based at least on the domain combination list; calculating an effective capacitance for each of the plurality of clock gating domains based at least on the per-case simulation; and generating a power abstract for each of the plurality of clock gating domains based at least on the effective capacitance.
