Abstract
A digital integrated circuit comprising may include a digital sensor circuit that converts binary bit patterns of wires in a sub-circuit over a given time into a single integer value that represents the total activity of a sub-circuit, and a digital data processing circuit that receives multiple activity integer values from multiple digital sensors in multiple sub-circuits and logically combines the values or uses a lookup table to output a single integer value that represents the total activity of a larger sub-circuit.
