This is an Engineer Explorer course for designers familiar with synthesis using the Genus™ Synthesis Solution in Stylus Common UI mode.
In this course, you explore and implement several low-power techniques to reduce both dynamic and leakage power during synthesis. You use multiple supply voltage (MSV) design, power shutoff (PSO) synthesis and dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS) synthesis. You run low-power flow using CPF and IEEE 1801 and troubleshoot a low-power design. You apply formal verification to validate your power constraints and ensure the functionality of a low-power design.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Identify power reduction techniques
- Set up and run low-power synthesis flow
- Enable clock gating
- Annotate switching activity and run RTL power estimation
- Run optimizations to reduce dynamic and leakage power consumption
- Implement a power shutoff (PSO), dynamic frequency voltage scaling (DVFS), and multiple supply voltage (MSV) design using CPF
- Use IEEE 1801 for designs with MSV and PSO methodology
- Analyze power results
- Troubleshoot low-power design
- Analyze a low-power design with Conformal® software
