Abstract:
A method estimates the effective switched capacitance for any number of resource types that may be used to form a yet-to-be fabricated IC device using pre-layout netlists of the various resource types. The effective switched capacitances of the resource types are then combined with the operating frequency and the resource utilization of a user design to estimate the power consumption of the user design to be implemented in the device before physical samples of the device are available.
