An analytical state dependent leakage power model for FPGAs

In this paper we present a state dependent analytical leakage power model for FPGAs. The model accounts for subthreshold leakage and gate leakage in FPGAs, since these are the two dominant components of total leakage power. The power model takes into account the dependency of gate and subthreshold leakage on the probability of the state of circuit inputs. The leakage power model has two main components, one which computes the probability of a state for a particular FPGA circuit element, and the other which computes the leakage of the FPGA circuit element for a given input using analytical equations. This FPGA power model is particularly important for rapidly analyzing various FPGA architectures across different technology nodes
