POWER AND TIMING MODELLING, OPTIMISATION AND SIMULATION Leakage current aware high-level estimation for VLSI circuits
The ever-growing leakage current of MOSFETs in nanometre technologies is the major concern to high performance and power efficient designs. Dynamic power management via powergating is effective to reduce leakage power, but it introduces power-up current that affects the circuit reliability. The authors present an in-depth study on high-level modelling of power-up current and leakage current in ...
متن کاملHigh-Level Area Prediction for Power Estimation†
High-level power estimation, when given only a high level design specification such as a functional or RTL description, requires high-level estimation of the circuit average activity and total capacitance. Considering that total capacitance is related to circuit area, this paper addresses the problem of computing the area complexity of single-output Boolean functions given only their functional...
متن کاملPower Simulation and Estimation in VLSI Circuits
In the past the major concerns of the VLSI designer were area speed and cost power consideration was typically of secondary importance In recent years how ever this has begun to change and increasingly power is being given comparable weight to other design considerations Several factors have contributed to this trend including the remarkable success and growth of the class of battery powered pe...
متن کاملDelay Estimation of VLSI Circuits from a High-Level View†
Estimation of the delay of a Boolean function from its functional description is an important step towards design exploration at the register transfer level (RTL). This paper addresses the problem of estimating the delay of certain optimal multi-level implementations of combinational circuits, given only their functional description. The proposed delay model uses a new complexity measure called...
متن کاملPeak power estimation of VLSI circuits: new peak power measures
New measures of peak power are proposed in the context of sequential circuits, and an efficient automatic procedure is presented to obtain very good lower bounds on these measures, as well as providing the actual input vectors that attain such bounds. Automatic generation of a functional vector loop for near-worst case power consumption is also attained. Experiments show that vector sequences g...
