Abstract :
A novel switching activity modeling method for multi-rail speed-independent circuits is presented. Based on a newly defined term, occurrence probability, plus a simple correlation-modeling algorithm, this method is able to calculate switching activity at each node. The results are verified by Synopsys simulation. Very good agreement between the theoretical predictions and simulation results is obtained.
