Abstract :
Power management has fast become specialized in different spaces. There are different schools of thought and methodologies of verification, depending on whether youpsilare looking at server, desktop, mobile or ultra-mobile spaces. For pre-silicon verification, the challenges are unique, and numerous tools and methodologies are used to ensure that as many bugs are found pre-silicon. This paper outlines some of those methodologies used, and describes why this discipline now has a face of its own.
