Technical standards are pervasive. When they’re effective, they enable innovation, increase quality, and reduce costs. Over the past five years, I’ve been involved in a technical standardization ...

Low power design and verification engineers need a way to continuously probe various dynamic properties of UPF objects in order to monitor the current state of a verification strategy and utilize that ...

Two major EDA vendors have kicked in technology donations toward Accellera's efforts to create a standard for low-power design work. Accellera's Unified Power Format technical subcommittee has ...

The Unified Power format (UPF) standard enables designers to add power intent for a design. For power management, designers typically partition a design into power domains. Interactions between these ...

Low-power design is a systemic discipline, so it naturally follows that a design flow intended to address low-power design should also approach the task from a holistic point of view. This has been ...

The current EDA industry division over low power standards hasn't stopped Calypto Design Systems from announcing support for the Common Power Format (CPF) developed by Cadence Design Systems. But ...
