METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MODELLING A POWER CONSUMPTION IN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for modeling power consumption of an integrated circuit and a device for supporting the same. The method for modeling power consumption of an integrated circuit according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of identifying information on a clock gating enable signal of an integrated circuit; determining a modeling level using a change rate of the number of the clock gating enable signal; and extracting power status according to the modeling level and the number of the clock gating enable signal to model power consumption for the power status. The present invention is able to define power status by only the number of a clock gating enable signal, thereby promptly and exactly predict dynamic power consumption.
