Abstract

See full text

Detecting power and IR-drop is indispensable design process because todays circuits are very power and timing critical. Many approaches provide good solutions for average power consumption and average IR-drop. However, there are few methods in detecting peak power and peak IR-drop. Obviously, peak power and IR-drop are more informative to know real working behavior of a chip than average power and IR-drop. Unfortunately, detection of peak power(current) of a system uses time-consuming process employing normal power calculation for small time regions. This patent suggests a high-speed method with linear complexity for detecting the peak power regions. Once we know peak regions, we can analyze those regions in details.
