Abstract :
Two formats for specifying power intent are currently in wide use in the industry today and as designers continue to strive for more power efficient designs new issues arise that need new solutions to improve on today´s standards. This panel will discuss areas for improving today´s power formats and the direction that these formats need to move, in order to provide the most efficient flows for design and verification and especially with regards to low-power. The scope of the formats and their suitability from early ESL design exploration to back-end signoff checking will also be discussed.
