Power Aware Simulation
Background
Low-power verification using UPF to validate power intent across RTL and gate-level simulations.
We provide expertise in power-aware simulation using Unified Power Format (UPF). This ensures that low-power design techniques such as power gating, isolation, retention, and level shifters are correctly implemented and functionally verified at RTL and netlist stages.
Case Study
The Problem
As designs grow in complexity, low-power features are critical. Without verification, improper UPF implementation can cause functional failures, missed isolation, and leakage issues.
Our Solutions
Using UPF-based power-aware simulations, we validate power intent early in the flow, detect design bugs related to power shutdown and retention, and ensure that silicon will meet both functionality and power targets.
