Abstract :
A methodology is proposed to determine the current profile early in the design process to accurately estimate electromagnetic emissions. Design information describing the clock and power distribution network topologies and the placement and sizing of the decoupling capacitors is used to determine the current signatures of individual circuit blocks and the entire system. The proposed methodology is incorporated within the integrated circuit emission model (ICEM). Current profiles for various circuits with different characteristics are determined using the proposed model.
