We present an architectural power estimation technique for controllers implemented as Programmable Logic Arrays (PLAs). The technique is based on simulation of the RT-level model of the controller. The contributions of this work are (1) a simple but efficient power characterization procedure for PLA-based controllers; and (2) a strategy for developing a simulatable power model from the input controller description. Node Switching Capacitance (nsc) of a sub-component (such as and plane) in a PLA is the average capacitance switched by a node in the sub-component, when the node undergoes a power consuming transition from logic 0 to logic 1. The power characterization involves extracting nsc equations in different sub-components as a function of controller's parameters such as its input size, output size etc. Prototype plas whose contents are known a priori, are employed to perform the characterization. The content information is exploited in deriving nsc equations for a given technology. The input description of a controller is modified for power simulation by adding nsc equations with dependent variables set to values of the controller's parameters. For a given sequence of input vectors, the modified vhdl description is simulated to estimate the power consumption for that set of vectors. Experimental Results on a number of examples are presented with average estimation error of 10.48 % with a minimum error of 0.19 % and maximum error of 21.90%. 1
