Fast dynamic power estimation considering glitch filtering

In this paper, we discuss probabilistic simulation techniques used to estimate dynamic power and especially glitch power. Major attention is paid to the problem of modeling inertial delay for using these techniques to estimate switching density at gate level. The inertial delay has a great impact on the glitch power due to filtering effects and is almost impossible to be modeled completely. We propose an approximation algorithm to achieve better accuracy compared to existing approaches. Examples show up to 60% improvement using our solution.
