Abstract
A method for modeling power management in an integrated circuit (IC) includes: specifying a circuit design and a power architecture for the IC, the power architecture including a plurality of power domains for specifying power levels in different portions of the IC; determining a testbench for simulating the IC and a verification plan for evaluating simulation results; using the testbench to simulate variations in power levels of the power domains of the IC; and using the verification plan to evaluate the simulation results for the power domains of the IC.
