Abstract
A method of creating models for power estimation of a circuit comprising generating an input space for the circuit. The input space is separated into multiple power modes corresponding to regions that display similar power behavior. Separate power models are generated for each of said multiple power modes. A power mode identification function is created that selects an appropriate power model from the separate power models based on the present and past values of the circuit inputs.
