Abstract
Pseudo area values, which represent standard cell power dissipation, are substituted for physical standard cell areas in a standard cell library. As a result, when a logic synthesizer synthesizes a gate level netlist from hardware description language (HDL) code, the synthesized netlist will describe a logic block that has minimal power dissipation.
