About This Course

This course is designed to provide learners and professionals with an in-depth understanding of Unified Power Format (UPF) for low-power design, essential for creating energy-efficient integrated circuits and electronic systems. It begins with an overview of power consumption challenges in modern electronics, followed by a comprehensive study of UPF, its syntax, and its methodologies. Learners will learn how to use UPF to specify power intent in designs, facilitating the creation of power-aware models that are crucial for reducing power consumption at all levels of electronic design.

By the end of this course, participants will master the skills necessary to implement UPF for optimizing the power efficiency of both simple and complex electronic systems, making them proficient in the principles and practices of low-power design using UPF.

What You'll Learn

Learners will acquire an advanced knowledge in writing Unified Power Format (UPF) to describe the power intent for a Register Transfer Level (RTL) design, synthesizing the design and performing Logic Equivalence Check (LEC) in the context of RTL and UPF. Throughout the course, students will gain practical experience with various UPF commands and techniques such as creating power domains, adding power states, and defining power switches and isolation rules. The curriculum also covers advanced topics like retention strategies and multi-voltage designs, with a focus on integrating UPF with existing Electronic Design Automation tools and design flows.
At the end of the course, learners will be able to:
- Define Power Domains
- Explain Isolation Strategies
- Explain Level shifter Strategies
- Explain Retention Cell Strategies
- Define the Power State Table
- Synthesize design with UPF

Entry Requirements

There are no formal entry requirements or prior qualifications needed.
