Dynamic Simulation In Power Management Verification


In the previous blog article, we took a look at some of the main power management verification issues encountered in low-power designs. Typical power management verification strategy requires a combination of structural rule-checking, power-aware simulation, and formal validation to address these issues. One question that comes up very frequently is that of how much more simulation is neede... » read more

Top 10 Power Management Verification Issues


By Bhanu Kapoor We are at the crossroads of some fundamental changes that are taking place in the semiconductor industry. Power is a primary design criterion for bulk of the semiconductor designs now. Power is a key reason behind the shift towards multi-core designs as increase in power consumption limits increases in clock speed at the rate we have seen in the past. Voltage is the strong... » read more

Understanding Power-Aware Verification


By Bhanu Kapoor We are at the crossroads of some fundamental changes that are taking place in the semiconductor industry. Power consumption has become one of the most important differentiating factors for semiconductor products due to a major shift in the market towards handheld consumer devices. Power is a primary design criterion for the bulk of semiconductor designs now, and it's a key re... » read more
