Claim One:
1. A computer program product for estimating the electrical power dissipation of a circuit receiving a first clock activate signal and a second clock activate signal, the computer program product having a medium with a computer program embodied thereon, wherein the computer program comprises: computer code for forming a table of electrical power dissipation values of the circuit, wherein the table comprises a first section corresponding to a condition of the circuit wherein the first clock activate signal is on and the second clock activate signal is off, and wherein the table comprises a second section corresponding to a condition of the circuit wherein the first clock activate signal is on and the second clock activate signal is also on, and wherein the first and second sections each comprise a plurality of entries corresponding to different values of switching factor percentage and clock activation percentage; and computer code for accessing the table to estimate the electrical power dissipation of the circuit.
