METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRECISION TUNABLE MACRO-MODEL POWER ANALYSIS

摘要

A method for estimating power consumption of a target device upon designing the target device, includes: preparing a hybrid power library having a regression power library part and lookup-table power library part, the hybrid power library storing power characteristics for each of basic building blocks which will constitute the target device; and estimating power consumption of the target device by applying the hybrid power library to a design description of the target device.
