Paving the way to low power IC design
Synopsys has announced approval of new statistical moment-based extensions to LVF by the Liberty Technical Advisory Board (LTAB), an IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organisation (IEEE-ISTO) federation member programme. The new extensions provide a more precise static timing model based on non-Gaussian variation observed in designs operating at near sub-threshold voltage conditions.Applications include mobile and IoT IC designs, where low e...
Silicon IP significantly reduces power consumption of flash memories
Although requiring more computing power to run feature rich applications programmes, connected battery-based devices use the minimal energy to ensure the longest usage without recharge. As a result, fabless companies need to hunt down every ‘mA’ to satisfy the low-power expectations of their SoC users.
