Why use average current for static IR?

oStatic IR drop analysis aims to determine the **average, steady-state voltage drop** across the power grid.

  • the baseline voltage level experienced by cells over a longer period, primarily influenced by leakage and the average rate of switching.

  • Average current calculated from average leakage and average switching power provides a measure of the continuous load on the power grid.

  • In some low-activity modes or technologies with high leakage, the average leakage current can be a significant contributor to the overall static power consumption and thus the static IR drop.
