Wherein, P _ViBe that to-be-measured integrated circuit is at electric power network V _iOn energy consumption, can be by electric power network V _iResistor matrix, voltage matrix and electric power network magnitude of voltage V _iCalculate.If integrated circuit A has three kinds of power pins pads, linking voltage respectively is V ₁, V ₂And V ₃Three electric power networks on, the energy consumption of integrated circuit A is so:

P＝P _v1+P _v2+P _v3

Certainly, if integrated circuit A has only a kind of power pins pad, link electric power network V ₁On, can calculate energy consumption of integrated circuits and be:

P＝P _V1

$Y=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{Y}_{11}& Y_{12}& Y_{13}\\ Y_{21}& Y_{22}& Y_{23}\\ Y_{31}& Y_{32}& Y_{33}\end{array}\right]$

The diagonal entry Y of admittance matrix _IiAdmittance between expression load node i and the power supply output node, other elements Y _Ij(the admittance between expression load node i of i ≠ j) and the load node j.Admittance matrix is the same with resistor matrix to be symmetric matrix.According to Ohm law, the current matrix that flows through each load node is:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}{I}_1\\ I_2\\ I_3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{Y}_{11}& Y_{12}& Y_{13}\\ Y_{21}& Y_{22}& Y_{23}\\ Y_{31}& Y_{32}& Y_{33}\end{array}\right]\&times;\left[\begin{array}{c}{U}_1\\ U_2\\ {\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="3"\; label="U"\; filenames="H2009102623792E00042.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">U</figure-callout>}}_3\end{array}\right]$

Wherein, each I of current matrix I _iThe electric current of load node i is flow through in expression.

Energy consumption calculation unit 522 in the data processing module 52 obtains to belong in the electric power network energy consumption of the load node of to-be-measured integrated circuit power pins according to the voltage on electric current on the load node that belongs to the to-be-measured integrated circuit power pins and the relative ground of electric power network, owing to obtained each I of current matrix I _iThe electric current of load node i is flow through in expression, and therefore, energy consumption calculation unit 522 can obtain to belong to the energy consumption of load node on this electric power network of described to-be-measured integrated circuit power pins according to the voltage on this relative ground of electric power network.

Further, energy consumption calculation unit 522 is according to the total energy consumption on the energy consumption acquisition to-be-measured integrated circuit of power pins in electric power network separately of to-be-measured integrated circuit.

For the load node of choosing in the electric power network, the power pins pad of same integrated circuit not necessarily.Therefore, if calculate certain integrated circuit, will calculate the power consumption of this integrated circuit pad of all power pins on this electric power network at the power that this electric power network consumes.Such as, in 3 POLs of above-mentioned electric power network, load node 1 and load node 3 are pads of the power pins of integrated circuit A, and load node 2 is pads of the power pins of integrated circuit B.If calculate integrated circuit A at the power that above-mentioned electric power network consumes, will pick out the electric current of load node 1 and load node 3, form current matrix I ':

$I^{\&prime;}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{I}_1\\ I_3\end{array}\right]$

Certainly, if the power pins pad that above-mentioned 3 load nodes all are integrated circuit A, I '=I so.If the relative ground voltage of electric power network is V ₁, the power matrix P of electric current I ' consumed so ₁:

${\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="P"\; filenames="H2009102623792E00042.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">P</figure-callout>}}_1={\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="V"\; filenames="H2009102623792E00042.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">V</figure-callout>}}_1\&times;I^{\&prime;}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="V"\; filenames="H2009102623792E00042.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">V</figure-callout>}}_1\&times;I_1\\ {\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="V"\; filenames="H2009102623792E00042.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">V</figure-callout>}}_1\&times;I_3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}{p}_1\\ {\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="3"\; label="p"\; filenames="H2009102623792E00042.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">p</figure-callout>}}_3\end{array}\right]$

Wherein, p ₁And p ₃Represent the power that load node 1 and load node 3 are consumed respectively.Because load node 1 and POL 3 all are that the power pins of integrated circuit A is at electric power network V ₁On pad, integrated circuit A is at electric power network V ₁The power P of last consumption _V1Be matrix P ₁Middle all elements sum is:

P _V1＝∑p _i

P _V1＝p ₁+p ₃

In fact a lot of integrated circuit are linked on a plurality of electric power networks, for example: integrated circuit A also links voltage and is respectively V ₂V _nN electric power network on, the energy consumption of integrated circuit A is its power consumed sum on n electric power network so, can extract the resistor matrix and the voltage matrix of n electric power network correspondence respectively, calculates the energy consumption on these electric power networks more respectively:

$P=\underset{i=1}{\overset{n}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{P}_{\mathrm{vi}}$

Wherein, P _ViBe that to-be-measured integrated circuit is at electric power network V _iOn energy consumption, can be by electric power network V _iResistor matrix, voltage matrix and electric power network magnitude of voltage V _iCalculate.If integrated circuit A has three kinds of power pins pads, linking voltage respectively is V ₁, V ₂And V ₃Three electric power networks on, the energy consumption of integrated circuit A is so:

P＝P _v1+P _v2+P _v3

Certainly, if integrated circuit A has only a kind of power pins pad, link electric power network V ₁On, so only need an energy consumption calculation unit just can calculate energy consumption of integrated circuits:

P＝P _V1
