ABSTRACT:
In a method of optimizing power consumption in an integrated circuit, a physically implemented circuit design meeting at least one timing constraint is provided. A design block of the physically implemented circuit design having a high toggle rate pattern is identified. A power optimized transformation type of numerous power optimized transformation types is selected. The power optimized transformation type is applied to the design block of the physically implemented circuit design. A modified physically implemented circuit design is generated, where the modified physically implemented circuit design is power optimized.
