  • Patent number: 11150818
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, systems, and circuitry for reduced error in power consumption estimation for distinct circuitries. A non-limiting example includes distinct circuitry having an optimized power consumption definition. The distinct circuitry includes a substrate. The distinct circuitry includes an arrangement of interoperable hardware components disposed on the substrate having input pins defined according to a model described by a hardware description language operable to emulate toggle events of the interoperable hardware components defined by the model having a toggle event count based on combinations of the toggle events that correspond to predetermined power quantities. The toggle events define an aggregate toggle power consumption closer to an actual power consumption than an aggregate pin power consumption based on the input pins.

  • Patent number: 11067627
    Abstract: A method for testing a circuit includes receiving, by a noise injection circuit, an input signal and generating a noise pulse. Generating the noise pulse includes computing an input resistor pulse, and computing an output resistor pulse. Generating the noise pulse further includes short-circuiting an output resistor substantially simultaneously with opening an input resistor. The method for testing the circuit includes modifying, by the noise injection circuit, the input signal using the noise pulse.
