Abstract

This paper describes the power modeling process based on measurements and the simplified power model of a complex chip. The analyzed MD8710 chip contains an ARM processor subsystem, an analog front-end, a Bluetooth with radio-frequency transceiver, a matrix display controller, digital connectivity and auxiliary peripherals. The dedicated board, the test-bench and the methods used for measurements are also presented in the paper. The paper addresses issues of Power Modeling and Low Power domains.
