·For power analysis, each cell’s power dissipation has been characterized in the library (.lib) file. For leakage power, the EDA tool simply adds up the leakage power of each cell. (Note: Leakage power is usually state dependent) For dynamic power, the EDA tool either estimates net capacitance before P&R or calculates net capacitance after P&R. The designer has to provide the toggle rate. This can be based on educated guess, experience, simulation, or emulation.
