SANTA CLARA, Calif. — A new power format standards effort emerged here Wednesday (Sept. 13), as the Accellera standards organization held a kickoff meeting for its new Unified Power Format (UPF) ...

The most recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has taught us that there are three things that really count in the electronics design community–low power, low power and low power. Consequently, ...

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 ...

As with many aspects of IC design and verification, standards give engineers the ability to describe design intent, move design data through the design flow, and document the final design. Low-power ...

Low power testbenches today have no visibility of the UPF objects and their states during a low power simulation. This has been one of the factors limiting the users from writing re-usable low power ...

Under the number IEEE 1801, the IEEE has approved the Standard for Design and Verification of Low Power Integrated Circuits. Also known as Unified Power Format 2.0 (UPF 2.0), the standard was ...
