Low-Power Design and Power-Aware Verification

Until now, there has been a lack of a complete knowledge base to fully comprehend Low power (LP) design and power aware (PA) verification techniques and methodologies and deploy them all together in a real design verification and implementation project. T

Preface

Low-power (LP) design, power-aware (PA) verification, and Unified Power Format (UPF) or IEEE-1801 power standards are no longer special features. These technologies and methodologies are now part of standard design, verification, and implementation flows (DVIFs). Almost every chip design today incorporates some kind of low-power technique through power management on chip–by dividing the design into different voltage areas and controlling the voltages, through UPF and testbench. Then, the PA dynamic and PA static verification or their combination comes into the play. The entire LP design and PA verification process involves thousands of techniques, tools, and methodologies, employed from the register transfer level (RTL) of design abstraction down to the synthesis or place-and-route levels of physical design. These techniques, tools, and methodologies are evolving everyday through the progressi
