Power estimation for large sequential circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
A power estimation approach is presented in which blocks of consecutive vectors are selected at random from a user-supplied realistic input vector set and the circuit is simulated for each block starting from an unknown state. This leads to two (upper and lower) bounds on the desired power value which can be quite tight (under 10% difference between the two in many cases). As a result, the power dissipation is obtained by simulating only a fraction of the potentially very

Performance Analysis of Reversible Sequential Circuits Based on Carbon NanoTube Field Effect Transistors (CNTFETs)
This study presents the importance of reversible logic in designing of high performance and low power consumption digital circuits. In our research, the various forms of sequential reversible circuits such as D, T, SR and JK flip-flops are investigated based on carbon nanotube field-effect transistors. All reversible flip-flops are simulated in two voltages, 0.3 and 0.5 Volt. Our results show t...

متن کاملMaximum Power Estimation for Sequential Circuits Using a Test Generation Based Technique
With the high demand for reliability and performance, accurate estimation of maximum instantaneous power dissipation in CMOS circuits is essential to determine the IR drop on supply lines and optimizing the power and ground routing. However, the problem of determining the input patterns to induce maximum current, and hence, the maximum power, is NP-complete. In this paper, we present an Automat...
متن کاملGenetic Spot Optimization for Peak Power Estimation in Large VLSI Circuits
Estimating peak power involves optimization of the circuit’s switching function. The switching of a given gate is not only dependent on the output capacitance of the node, but also heavily dependent on the gate delays in the circuit, since multiple switching events can result from uneven circuit delay paths in the circuit. Genetic spot expansion and optimization are proposed in this paper to es...
