| Verifying Low Power Designs |
Low-power experts have consistently advised design teams to think about low power at the architectural level, and nothing has changed in that regard. What has changed are the numbers of possibilities for verification.

| Why Voltage-aware Verification Strategy Counts |
Verification of low-power designs, which until recently was a challenge for just a handful of all designs, is fast becoming every designer's problem.

| Moore’s Law vs. Low Power |
Moore’s Law and low-power engineering are natural-born enemies, and this dissension is becoming more obvious at each new process node as the two forces are pushed closer together.

| Low Power Verification Methodology: Is this a Case of Natural Evolution? |
The EDA industry is in no way immune to the changes imposed by low power. If anything, power managed designs have had a far greater and more rapid impact than previous technological seismic shifts.

| How power design techniques impact SoC verification |
Power consumption has become one of the most important differentiating factors for semiconductor products, and is a key design criterion for most semiconductor designs.

| A Ticking Time Bomb |
Power is a hot problem these days, no pun intended. To address the escalating power challenges, many companies have adopted multi-voltage design techniques such as power gating, back bias, multi-VDD, dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS), and retention.

| Coding Practices Adapt to a Low-Power World |
For many years, good coding practices have been an essential component of design methodology. Register-transfer-level (RTL) structures have been known to cause unintended bugs as well as DFT, power, clock-structure, and sometimes even place-and-route issues.
