Power-aware verification (analog and digital) is the leading concern for designs at 65-nm and below. For voltage-aware
functional verification, the
Eclypse Low Power Solution includes
VCS with
MVSIM, a voltage-aware simulation engine, as well as
MVRC, a voltage-aware static checker that offer comprehensive coverage for all power management functions. The voltage-aware nature of MVSIM and MVRC provide the needed accuracy and verification coverage for power-managed designs. Effects such as power state transistion analysis, power shutdown, power rules checking, etc. are performed.
HSPICE, and
CustomSim test for non-digital effects, such as leakage power, floating nodes, and dynamic IR drop. The overall result is a completely verified power-managed design.
