Abstract :
An input sensitive table based power estimation technique is proposed. The proposed technique has been applied to different circuits and validated using circuit-level simulation for 0.25 μm, 2.5 V CMOS technology. It is observed that the proposed scheme achieves an average error margin of 3.2% as compared to HSPICE, while running 27 times faster
