PowerPro Emulation Power Analysis increases the runtime and performance of the power analysis flow by up to fourfold. Through a unique dynamic read waveform API interaction with PowerPro, PowerPro provides extensive RTL power exploration and precise gate-level power analysis.
The Activity Plot is a unique function that enables a power analysis team to perform extensive test sequences and quickly pinpoint high switching locations across long simulation runs; these regions indicate true power problems.
Dynamic Read Waveform API
The Dynamic Read Waveform API method extracts information from the power switching activity graphic and sends it to power analysis tools.
Identify High Toggle Activity Regions
Once you’ve identified high-switching activity locations at the top level of your design, you may investigate the numerous sub-blocks or applications that are causing this high switching.
Estimation Analysis Feature
Design partitioning enables the execution of ultra-large designs with extremely long simulation trails, resulting in a shorter time to power.
