A New Statistical Method for Maximum Power Estimation in CMOS VLSI Circuits

A method for maximum power estimation in CMOS VLSI circuits is proposed. The method is based on extreme value theory and allows for the calculation of the upper end point of the probability distribution which is followed by the instantaneous power drawn from the supply bus. The main features of the...
