  text: Faced with increasing demands on energy efficiency, current electronic systems
    operate according to complex power management schemes including more and more
    fine-grained voltage frequency scaling and power shutdown scenarios. Consequently,
    validation of the power design intent should begin as early as possible at electronic
    system-level (ESL) together with first executable system specifications for integrity
    tests. However, today's system-level design methodologies usually focus on the
    abstraction of digital logic and time, so that typical low-power aspects cannot
    be considered so far. In this paper, we present a high-level modeling approach
    on top of the SystemC/TLM standard to simulate power distribution and voltage
    based implications in a "loosely-timed" functional execution context. The approach
    reuses legacy TLM models and prevents the need for detailed lock-step process
    synchronization in contrast to existing methods. A case study derived from an
    open source low-power design demonstrates the efficiency of our approach in terms
    of simulation performance and testability.
