    摘要: Systems and methods are provided that can be utilized to estimate power associated with a circuit design. The estimated power is determined by employing power characterizations to determine power consumption associated with non-conventional circuits in the circuit design. The power characterizations can be determined prior to circuit design timing analysis, stored and utilized during circuit design timing analysis. The power estimates associated with the non-conventional circuits can be added to power estimates associated with the conventional circuits of the circuit design to compute a power associated with the circuit design.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a temporarily modified output. A waveform control provides a control output that temporarily adjusts to an intermediate level between normal high and low levels during a first operating mode. The waveform control provides the control output to transition periodically between the high and low levels during a second operating mode. A delay network controls the waveform control to provide the output at the intermediate level for a duration during the first operating mode.

    摘要: A plurality of sequential nodes in a design file for an electronic device are identified and one or more combinatorial power metric values are computed for the plurality of sequential nodes based upon an effective switching capacitance, a switching activity measure, and a power effort measure for at least a first device downstream from the each sequential node at a specified depth. The combinatorial power metric values for the plurality of sequential node are stored and compared to a target power metric value to determine if power consumption at the electronic device meets a predetermined power performance goal.

    摘要: One disclosed embodiment may comprise an interpolation system that includes an interpolator that interpolates between a selected phase from a preceding cycle and a selected phase from a current cycle to provide an interpolated phase for the current cycle. An edge of the interpolated phase for the current cycle has reduced jitter relative to an edge of a corresponding phase of the current cycle. A delay system delays a plurality of other phases of the current cycle to provide delayed other phases, the delayed other phases and the interpolated phase for the current cycle collectively defining a set of adjusted phases for the current cycle.
