Does anyone know how to measure power dissipation of memory block from sdf format?
My design is work with sram block, and I need information how much power is being consumed in memory block. Please give me some information about this problem. I am mainly working with Cadence and Synopsys tools. THX.

But the real power would depend strong on activity. So I suggest that not all nodes a switching. But from my old SRAM knowdledge I would calculate as follows: If you have all nets avaible form SDF! You should make classes with different activities. Address Decoder Lines: 0.5 Row Word Lines: 1/#WLs Precharge Driver: 1 Bitlines: 0.5 If the SRAM is big
