ABSTRACT:
A current waveform for an electronic circuit is calculated from a description of the circuit at a given level of abstraction without requiring a detailed simulation. In one embodiment, the waveform is estimated without using test vectors, and uses an analysis time step or “granularity” that is much shorter than a clock cycle. The method is applicable for calculating worst-case instantaneous current.
