Sequence to Present Design for Power Flow at DAC

Posted by EDA Geek News Staff in EDA Tools, Events, Training on Tuesday, May 15, 2007

Sequence Design is unveiling the EDA industry's most comprehensive suite of tools for power-aware design at this year's DAC with its Design For Power (DFP) Flow, attacking the challenges of low-power design holistically, from RTL to GDS. Customers already employing Sequence's DFP Flow are reporting RTL power reduction of up to 50 percent, a 50 percent speedup in design closure times, and leakage power reduction of up to 1,000X.

Demos of all Sequence products and their implementation in a complete DFP Flow will be available at DAC by advance registration.

"DFP is a holistic approach to power, enabling power exploration from the architectural level through physical implementation, reducing power while preventing power problems in timing, SI, and power grid design, with exclusive 'silicon-aware' features," said Vic Kulkarni, Sequence president and CEO.

Sequence's DFP Flow comprises PowerTheater for RTL power analysis and reduction, with new PowerTheater-Explorer for power visualization and debug. Accelerated design closure, power reduction, and power-grid integrity is supplied by the company's CoolProducts family, now with power gating analysis and simultaneous switching noise options. The award-winning Columbus extraction engine provides statistical corner parasitics for significantly increased margin in the DFP flow.
