A Deep Submicron Power Estimation Methodology Adaptable to Variations Between Power Characterization and Estimation

Paper in proceeding, 2003

Traditionally, RTL power estimation techniques are characterizing a component for a fixed environment (most importantly load capacitance, activity, and operating frequency). This article presents a solution to problems originating from the ineluctably changing operating conditions such as differing load capacitance due to different applications; different activity and operating frequency as power reduction techniques are more frequently employed.
