Abstract
A method and system for analyzing power distribution in an integrated circuit chip includes dividing a clock cycle of the integrated circuit chip into a plurality of time periods, dividing the integrated circuit chip into a plurality of cells, performing a static timing analysis for the plurality of cells to obtain current waveform data for each cell and each time period, and performing a power distribution analysis using the current waveform data.
