Understanding the Need for Low-Power Design
In today's technologically advanced world, low-power design is critical across various industries, from wearables to automotive electronics. The Cadence Virtuoso low-power solution acknowledges that power management is integral to the entire design process, beginning from architectural planning to chip and system signoff. With the rising demand for energy-efficient devices, the focus on low-power design has never been more crucial.
Power-Aware Methodology and High-Level Synthesis
Cadence Virtuoso offers a unique approach by considering power consumption at every stage of the design flow. High-level synthesis (HLS) methodology users benefit from early power-aware architectural and micro-architectural decisions, enabling them to make informed trade-offs for power, performance, and area. This early consideration of power attributes ensures that the design meets its low-power objectives efficiently.
Verification and Implementation Support
The Cadence Virtuoso solution facilitates a thorough sanity check of power intent, ensuring that potential surprises are eliminated during the low-power flow. Supporting industry-standard power intent formats like IEEE 1801 and CPF, Cadence tools verify design interactions across functional and power modes, eliminating critical bugs that could impact the final product. By incorporating power intent in all aspects of implementation, Cadence helps optimize leakage and dynamic power to deliver high-quality, low-power designs.
End-to-End Power Management and IP Support
The Cadence Virtuoso solution extends its support from chip to system levels to ensure power integrity throughout the design. By building connections between chip and system levels, Cadence verifies that the entire system achieves optimal power efficiency. Furthermore, the solution caters to mixed-signal designs, offering IP cores and interfaces optimized for low power consumption. With a track record of successful implementation in thousands of designs, Cadence Virtuoso has proven its reliability in achieving low-power objectives.
