Power-optimization techniques are creating new complexities in the physical and functional behavior of electronic designs. An integral piece of a functional verification plan, Cadence’s power-aware verification methodology can help verify power optimization without impacting design intent, minimizing late-cycle errors and debugging cycles. After all, simulating without power intent is like simulation with some RTL code black boxed.
The methodology brings together power-aware elaboration with formal analysis and simulation. With power-aware elaboration, all of the blocks as well as the power management features in your design are in place, so you can verify your design with power intent. Power intent introduces power/ground nets, voltage levels, power switches, isolation cells, and state retention registers. Any verification technology—simulation, emulation, prototyping, or formal—can be applied on a power-aware elaboration of the design.
By investing upfront time and effort to learn and apply the tools in this flow, you can avoid design problems that, later in the cycle, will take much longer to find and fix. Figure 1 outlines the key steps of our power-aware verification methodology.
Step 0: Write and scrub the CPF/UPF power intent
Step 1: Create a power-aware, power feature verification plan
Step 2: Execute formal aspects of verification plan with JasperGold Low Power Verification App, which automatically creates power-aware RTL for:
Step 3: Create dynamic tests for balance of verification plan
Step 4: Execute dynamic tests on assigned engine. Use the best engine for each type of test. For example:
Step 5: Merge metrics coverage reporting, using the vManager Metric-Driven Signoff Platform to view, report, and manage coverage
Step 6: Normal cycle of debug/fix/regress. Repeat all tests if there are power-intent changes. Automate the regression trigger based on power-intent changes by design and implementation teams
