Low Power Solutions

These days everyone is concerned about power consumption. And while you’d like to tackle power as early in the design process as possible, at the end of the day it’s about balancing power with existing requirements of system functionality, performance, and manufacturability.

The Unified Power Format (UPF) provides the backbone to our low power technologies so engineers can define power based architectures, create power aware strategies, and verify low power designs throughout the TLM to GDSII flow.
