Automatic Power Optimization

PowerPro automated power optimization is the industry’s premier low-power design solution, assisting in the delivery of energy-efficient IPs/SOCs by providing an automatic, push-button procedure to produce low-power RTL and formally check it for equivalence against original RTL.

Power optimization might be difficult in the late phases of RTL design, taking many days of work. PowerPro automated power optimization analyses the design sequentially to locate complicated enablements that maximise power savings and writes down the power optimised RTL in hours.

PowerPro’s automated power optimization creates low-power RTL via a push-button flow. It adds enable conditions to the original RTL to introduce new enables and enhance old enables while preserving the original RTL’s indentation and readability.

To prevent resynthesizing a stable design that has previously passed place and route, PowerPro ECO flow validates automatically installed gating on an ECOed design. It dumps eco directives from the gate-level netlist to deactivate invalidly enabled.
