COSMOS: a continuous optimization approach for maximum power estimation of CMOS circuits
1997
Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Computer Aided Design (ICCAD) ICCAD-97
Maximum instantaneous power in VLSI circuits has a great impact on circuit's reliability and the design of power and ground lines. To synthesize highly reliable systems, accurate estimates of maximum power must be obtained in various design phases. Unfortunately, determining the input patterns to induce the maximum current p o w er is essentially a combinatorial optimization problem. Even for circuits with small number of primary inputs PI's, it is CPU time intensive to conduct exhaustive
