Power Calculation and Average Power for large set of input combinations (in thousands)

mkza1002

Hello,

I want to know if there is  a method in Cadence to calculate power for thousands set of input combinations separately for a logic circuit design.

Also, is there a way we can do the same by using Verilog?

PS: basically in my case, the total input combinations is approximately 60,000.

Thanks.

  • Hi Kashif,

    Cadence provide various tools that have power analysis capabilities. Your description is kind of vague but the analysis can be done whether you have 1 input or N inputs. Most tools use some kind of activity information: user set, default, or provided through an activity file. Based on that, power is computed and can view it in average form or in some tools on a time profile. Some of the tools providing analysis capabilities are Joules (power analysis tool), Genus (synthesis), Voltus (power signoff), as well as others. Please read the corresponding section in their manual for details

    hope this helps,
