Hi,
I am comparing a number of arithmetic adders based on their power consumption. I use Synopsys Design Compiler for synthesis and Prime Time PX for power analysis (using back annotated SAIF files, from simulation in ModelSim).
I can't figure out if the Synopsys tools are actually analyzing the power that is dissipated due to spurious transitions as well.
Does anyone know if and how it is possible to analyze spurious transistions in Synopsys DC/PT? Or is this only possible in a tool such as SPICE?
I am really hoping someone can help me out here. Thanks a lot.
