Can any one help me houw can I Find the total power consumption of an electronic circuit.
I used 4 D-flipflop, 4 Gates XNOR, and 1 clock.
I have the Datasheet of each component and I dont know how to calculate it?
Also, I would like to know if I turned off my cicuit, the bits information in the shift register will be memorized or not.
no it will not memorize.
Why not just measure the current flowing to it via a sense resistor and calculate the power like that?...rc filter the signal reading if its not "flat"
The Family of logic parts (Cmos, TTL or other) determines its power consumption when it is sitting doing nothing or is switching slowly.
I doubt that a datasheet or a simulation program will tell you the power consumption when it is switching at a high frequency.
I guess your ics are CMOS. Use CPD (power dissipation capacitance) parameter from datasheet to calculate dynamic power. See AN-90 (74C family characteristics) page 3 section titled POWER CONSUMPTION. Here is the link https://www.fairchildsemi.com/an/AN/AN-90.pdf
