  • Abstract
    While power consumption has become an important design constraint very few reports of power analysis of processors are available in the literature. The processor considered is an experimental integration of a 16-bit DSP and a 32-bit RISC microcontroller, ERDI. Simulation based power analysis on a back annotated design is used to obtain data for a set of DSP application kernels and synthetic benchmarks.
