SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING A DYNAMIC POWER CONSUMPTION OF A BLOCK

摘要

A method for evaluating a dynamic power consumption of a block, the method includes: receiving or generating information representative of the block during a preliminary block design stage that precedes a gate level simulation of the block; estimating change probabilities of signals of internal components of the block; and evaluating a dynamic power consumption of the block in response to the change probabilities of the signals of internal components of the block.
