# Power analysis
## [[SDP power analysis]]
## [[Usage model]] {also debug, annotation, correlation methods)
## [[Debugging skill]]
## [[Power save restore cache]]
## [[USDB support]]
## Pre-request
* Make sure you have already familiar with VP usage model: [[New_hire_training(PV_PE_AE)]]
## Glitch and switching activity
* Check power analysis on switching activity attachment:"EDA_PA_basic_lll.pptx EDA_PA_basic_lll.pptx
* Check glitch power optimization in detail attachment:"GlitchPower_Optimization.pptx GlitchPower_Optimization.pptx

## Simple QA
* Why internal power is negative (From D叩D叩D https://www.cnblogs.com/lelin/p/11412133.html
* TCl beginner's manual attachment:"Tcl_basic_command.pptx" Tcl_basic_command.pptx
* "extract_toggle_activity -format saif -file file.saif" command for Pin setting logic (From D叩D叩 attachment:"extract_toggle_activity.docx" extract_toggle_activity.docx "report_toggle_activity" random crash fix experience (From D叩D叩 attachment:"report_toggle_activity.docx" report_toggle_activity.docx
* About VCD background attachment:"vcd.pptx" vcd.pptx
* debug utility with sanity check on TR, SWA, pow
```
// obsolete
set_app_var ta debug_power 2
// new usage
set_app_var pow debug 20
// will perform sanity check
report_power_analysis
// will show calculation procedure
report_power_calculation
```
