Hi,

I have some data for the dynamic power of an ASIC for a given workload. These measurements go through a range of voltages (all other factors are constant, like frequency, etc). Is it possible to develop a model to fit this set of data with the traditional formulae used for switching and short circuit power, i.e:

P = alpha*Ceff*V^2*f + K*(V-Vt)^3*f

The first part is for switching power, which seems to be the most commonly adopted version. The second part is borrowed from Veendrick's model (http://www.acsel-lab.com/Projects/lowpower/references/Veendrick_84.pdf).

What I've been trying to do is fit a curve onto the data for all the voltage points and solving for (alpha*Ceff), K, and Vt. I can come up with an equation similar to above that has very little error but I'm wondering if this is the correct/best way?

If anyone has any suggestions or experience, please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
czhe
