Siemens Precision Reviews

PowerPro offers the most comprehensive set of features to RTL designers to "design-for-low-power". It offers power estimations for both RTL- and Gate-level designs. Early power checks are available to quickly identify power issues during RTL design development. Clock and memory gating is also offered to optimize the design. PowerPro offers the most comprehensive set of features to RTL designers to "design-for-low-power". It provides power analysis for RTL and gate level designs, early power checking to quickly identify power issues during RTL design, and clock and Memory gating for optimizing the design for power. PowerPro provides highly accurate estimations within 10% of the signoff. This technology is based on advanced engines which enable a wide range of analysis capabilities. PowerPro's automatic optimization produces low-power RTL with integrated logic equivalence checks. PowerPro's automatic power optimization is the only low-power RTL technology on the market that has been proven.

Oasys RTL addresses the need for increased capacity, faster runtimes and improved QoR by optimizing on a higher abstraction level and using integrated floorplanning capabilities. Oasys RTL provides better results by enabling floorplanning and fast optimization iterations. Power-aware synthesis includes support for multithreshold libraries and automatic clock gating. Oasys RTL inserts the appropriate level-shifters, isolation cells and retention registers based on the power intent defined in the UPF. Oasys RTL can create a floorplan from the design RTL by using design dataflow, timing, power, area and congestion constraints. It takes into account regions, fences and blockages as well as other physical guidance by using the advanced floorplan-editing tools. It also automatically places macros and pins.
