Low Power Design: Common Power Format

Hello Dear Readers,   Today in this post, I will provide some deep insight into Low Power Design: Common Power Format syntax and how to implement it. CPF (Common Power Format) CPF is power intent as similar as UPF which we have seen earlier.  CPF structure is like UPF, only difference is UPF is handled by Synopsys VC static/dynamic tool, whereas CPF is handled only by Cadence’s CLP tool. Below is Low Power flow for CPF:  CPF Implementation Flow Commands of CPF and UPF are much more similar only difference is in few syntax, will try to write CPF for below design block: Commands of CPF and UPF are much more similar only difference is in few syntax, let’s have glance of CPF commands below: #Definition of top domain set_design top #Define the top power domain create_power_domain –name pdTOP –default #Define pdA       create_power...
