Özet

Using exact switching activity rates at all internal nodes when calculating energy ofdigital circuits is believed to result in improved accuracy over to the use of average switching activity.We compare the two approaches in the case of the Kogge-Stone adder implemented with Weinberger and Ling addition recurrences. The difference between the two is less than 4%.Further we examined the accuracy of the energy/delay estimation technique when using exact and average switching activities in 65nm. 45nm. 32nm and 22nm technology nodes. Even then the worse case error in estimating energy is under /5% at 22nm technology node f or 64-bit Kogge-Stone adder. The error in delay estimation is less than 6%f or all the nodes. Our fin ding is that using average switching activity does not yield large errors while simplifying the estimation process greatly. ©2009 IEEE.
