In order to evaluate this approach, estimations of power consumption are analysed for alternative architectures of a telecom design. Constrained behavioural and logic synthesis is then applied to generate the gate level netlist. A comparison with gate-level power evaluation is performed and commented. The flow is easily extendable to other application domains.} } @COMMENT{Bibtex file generated on }
