Abstract

An integrated circuit can include a processor operable to execute program code and an Intellectual Property (IP) modeling block. The IP modeling block can include a first port through which the IP modeling block receives first modeling data and a second port coupled to the processor through which the first IP modeling block communicates with the processor during emulation. The first IP modeling block also can include a power emulation circuit. The power emulation circuit is configured to consume a variable amount of power as specified by the first modeling data received via the first port.
