Abstract
Disclosed approaches of determining an estimated glitch toggle rate at an output of a logic circuit include inputting functional static probabilities of combinations of states of the plurality of inputs and a generated glitch toggle rate of the logic circuit. Each functional static probability indicates a probability of the states of the inputs of the combination. For each input of the plurality of inputs to the logic circuit, a Boolean Difference Function (BDF) of the input is generated. A maximum glitch rate, which is the estimated glitch toggle rate, is determined based on the generated glitch toggle rate and the functional static probabilities associated with selected combinations of states of the BDF.
