Abstract: Power is an important factor that restricts the design of Integrated Circuit (IC). The power origin in CMOS IC,the aim of power estimation in IC design,the estimation method,and the power model were analyzed. The characteristic of analog integrated circuit and the corresponding way for power estimation were studied. In order to distribute the power at system level, the construction of charge pump PLL,the principle of every module and the contribution to power were also studied. The power estimation model of charge pump PLL with ring oscillator was proposed at system level. The relative error is less than 22% when compared with the actual measurement. This model is easy to be integrated into design tools and can give guidance on power consumption for PLL at system level to improve the quality of Integrated Circuit design.

Key words: power estimation;power model;energy transfer;charge pump PLL

集成電路集成度和时钟频率的大幅度提高,导致功耗问题日益突出,功耗已成为许多ASIC设计中的关键因素之一.但是,由于满足功耗设计需要的EDA软件发展缓慢,设计者不得不在设计后期反复验证以满足功耗特性,延长了产品设计周期,推迟了上市时间.为使功耗设计能溶入集成电路设计方法学,使得设计者在考虑延迟、噪声和芯片面积等因素的同时,也能对功耗进行分析权衡,高层次的功耗估计越来越迫切.电荷泵型锁相环频率综合器是一数模混合系统,大量使用在芯片中,提供精确的时钟或载波信号,虽然占用的面积不大,但功耗却很显著,在芯片系统设计阶段对其进行功耗估计,便于芯片的功耗分配.目前数字集……
