Abstract:Power consumption of the controller of an RTL design, though typically smaller than that of the datapath, cannot be neglected. Controller power modeling is a more challenging task than that of datapath modules, because the controller is usually specified in an abstract fashion that has no structural relationship with its final implementation. This paper presents an extensive experimental study on pre.state assignment power models. Starting from a large set of controllers, we study the relation between power an… Show more
