As VLSI technology goes into nanometer era, the power integrity problem becomes one of the critical issues that limit the design performance. Traditionally, accurate supply current waveform can only be obtained from transistor-level simulation. Power integrity check is mostly performed at very late design stage in current design flow. Therefore, a high level current model for logic blocks using dynamic levelization algorithm is proposed to solve this problem. Proposed dynamic levelization algorithm can simplify the waveform complexity by grouping the gates by their logic level. Then, levelized current waveforms are transformed by DCT to obtain regular frequency domain waveforms. Thus, any shapes of current waveforms like triangular, trapezoidal, or multi-peak waveforms can be estimated by the proposed model without any manual tuning and extra information except the input/output values. Finally, the experimental results prove proposed that high-level current model provide accurate enough supply current waveforms for noise analysis at early design stages.
