Calypto to Demonstrate Power Optimization, Verification Tools at DAC

Posted by Ken Cheung in Events, Training on Thursday, May 31, 2007

Calypto(TM), the leader in sequential analysis technology, will demonstrate its SLEC(TM) (Sequential Logic Equivalence Checking) and PowerPro(TM) CG (Clock Gating) during the 44th Design Automation Conference (DAC) in booth #2680. DAC will be held June 4-7 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, Calif.

Additionally, Calypto’s Chief Architect Anmol Mathur will present a paper titled, “Design for Verification at System-Level and RTL,” during a special session on Functional Verification of ESL Models to be held Tuesday, June 5, from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

SLEC is a Sequential Logic Equivalence Checker that verifies register transfer level (RTL) designs, providing efficient bug finding without writing testbenches or assertions. SLEC System is used in electronic system level (ESL) design flows to verify that RTL implementations matches system-level models written in C/C++ or System C. SLEC RTL verifies RTL power and performance optimizations. Unlike combinational logic equivalence checking tools, SLEC can verify sequential design changes such as clock gating and retiming.

Recently announced PowerPro CG, an automated RTL power optimization solution, works at RTL and above where there is greater power savings. It dramatically reduces power with little or no impact on timing or area, and has reduced power by up to 60% on initial customer designs. Unlike power optimization tools working at the gate level, PowerPro CG identifies clock-gating opportunities using sequential analysis of the RTL code.
