Power Computation in FPGA Based Local Interconnect Network (LIN)

FPGA based local Interconnect Network (LIN) is mainly used for space-based and vehicular applications. The power consumption has become a design parameter equally as challenging as throughput. Available FPGA synthesis and routing tools optimize for speed or area, but not for realtime power consumption. Power computation is the first step in achieving power optimization. The work presented in paper is computation & analyzing of the Power Consumption by LIN Controller and Two Node LIN in Master-Slave Configuration. The Power consumption is optimized by code optimization which allows the designer to acquire a better understanding of how power consumption is generated and distributed.
