Course Description
Note: This course is based on the default user interface and not the Stylus Common User Interface. Please consult with your design team or Cadence AE before selecting this course instead of the Innovus™ Low-Power Flow with Stylus Common UI course. If there is not a clear preference, please select the Innovus Low-Power Flow with Stylus Common UI course.
This is an Engineer Explorer course for designers familiar with synthesis concepts.
In this course, you analyze and implement several low-power techniques to reduce both dynamic and leakage power during synthesis and design implementation. You run formal verification to ensure the functionality of a low-power design.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Implement low-power design techniques using Innovus Implementation System software
- Analyze Multi-Supply Multi-Voltage (MSMV) regions to reduce power consumption
- Run concurrent timing, MSV optimization, and multi-VT (leakage) optimization
- Implement MSMV-aware detail routing
- Analyze data and debug power problems at different stages of the flow
