Design for Low Power
All the Right Low-Power Ingredients
Overview
Power management has become mission-critical in 130-nanometer designs and below. To speed design convergence, reduce overall fabrication cost, and increase yield, designers today require a comprehensive RTL-to-GDSII solution for dynamic and leakage power optimization, power network synthesis in design planning, power-aware test, power analysis, and power integrity sign-off (voltage-drop and electromigration analysis).

Galaxy™ Power is a complete power management and power integrity sign-off solution for power-efficient design. It is a proven solution for low-power design, optimization, and power integrity. Galaxy Power performs power optimization with support for automatic hierarchical clock gating, multi-voltage designs, multi-threshold leakage, low-power placement and CTS, and state retention power gating, as well as power network synthesis. Vector-free power analysis and sign-off level power integrity, including voltage-drop and electromigration analysis, are also part of Galaxy Power. In addition, Galaxy Power is seamlessly integrated with test (DFT Compiler™ and TetraMAX®), timing (PrimeTime® and PrimeTime SI) and verification (Formality® and VCS®). The full complement of capabilities in Galaxy Power gives designers a predictable and proven solution yielding the lowest power consumption while speeding design closure.

Key Benefits
  • Manages power throughout the entire design flow including synthesis, physical implementation, and sign-off
  • Delivers lowest power consumption
  • Fully automates the most advanced power management techniques
  • Preserves testability, increases yield
  • Eliminates power-related failures
  • Silicon proven
