Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product is disclosed that recycle digital assertions for analyzing the test vectors to quickly and accurately calculate the switching activity at each test clock pulse or scan cycle. According to some approaches, load vector data and unload vector data are analyzed to determine toggle counts and switching activity, without requiring simulation to be performed.
