Abstract

Power estimation is a very prominent aspect in micro controllers which aims to to be more efficient in terms of power. A new method of estimation of power based on the execution of instruction in AURIX, which is an automotive micro- controller is proposed. The main aim of this method is to estimate the power in perspective of program(software) or instruction level which is constantly processed in microprocessor which is more accurate when compared with the previous methodologies. The estimation is done based on some set of instructions which is used in AURIX for Data transfer/storing in to memories, Data processing and Data Execution for various application. Most of the previous methodologies are all not accurate due to the abstraction levels.
