I did check it out... It uses the Signal Activity File that's generated by the Simulator to estimate the power. However, I'm unsure of what inputs I should provide to the simulator as the PowerPlay power analyzer report always says that the User has provided insufficient toggle rate data..

So any ideas on how to do the simulation (and using what inputs) to provide a valid Signal activity file (SAF) to be used with PowerPlay to get High confidence Level???
