SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Sequence Design, the EDA power tools leader, today announced CoolPower(TM), a power optimization toolkit for leakage power, dynamic power, and voltage drop optimization in system-on-chip (SoC) designs. CoolPower features multiple power optimization techniques including the industry's first capabilities for optimizing leakage power using MTCMOS power-gating, and voltage drop reduction with decoupling capacitor insertion and placement optimization.
MTCMOS power gating is a circuit technique for reducing leakage power by 10X to 100X, but is difficult to implement without advanced design automation. CoolPower completely automates the design and ...
