Description

All System-on-chip (SoC) designs today face low power design issues of one sort or another–maximizing battery life, sizing power grids, controlling leakage power, verifying power sequencing, estimating and modeling power at various abstractions, analyzing electro-thermal effects and utilizing power intent standards. The list goes on and on. This panel explores current methods for dealing with the many critical power issues along with limitations of those methods. Both design and the design automation perspectives are offered.
