Abstract
A method and system of modeling power leakage for a design comprises providing one or more cell libraries comprising parameters for particular device characteristics and providing a module configured to determine of cell leakages of a device for a PVT corner. In determining the cell leakage, the module uses the device characteristics contained in the one or more cell libraries, in combination with one or more components at a PVT for a predetermined application and an amount of devices in a leakage path (Fckt) and a leakage distribution (Fchip). There is no need to recharacterize the one or more cell libraries.
