发明名称 SYSTEM FOR MEASURING POWER CONSUMPTION OF INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
摘要 An integrated circuit includes electronic components, a voltage regulator for generating a control voltage, and a power consumption measurement module. The power consumption measurement module is connected to the voltage regulator and includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for converting the control voltage to multiple digital control voltage samples, an averaging module for averaging the digital control voltage samples, and a current profiling module for receiving the averaged control voltage data and determining an average current from averaged control voltage data. The average current represents power consumption of the integrated circuit.
