Abstract
In an approach for determining voltage and frequency pairs, the computer identifies an integrated circuit design. The computer identifies a timing model associated with the identified integrated circuit design. The computer identifies at least a nominal voltage, a nominal clock signal, and a voltage range associated with the integrated circuit design. The computer receives a number n that defines the number of at least one alternate voltage within the voltage range. The computer analyzes the identified integrated circuit based on the received number n for each number n for at least one alternate voltage within the voltage range. The computer calculates a nominal slack. The computer calculates one or more clock periods based on the calculated nominal slack. The computer provides a report based on the calculated one or more clock periods.
