A survey of power estimation techniques in VLSI circuits

摘要

With the advent of portable and high-density microelectronicndevices, the power dissipation of very large scale integrated (VLSI)ncircuits is becoming a critical concern. Accurate and efficient powernestimation during the design phase is required in order to meet thenpower specifications without a costly redesign process. In this paper,nwe present a review of the power estimation techniques that havenrecently been proposed
