SoC power-integrity tool cuts current

The RedHawk-ALP physical-power-integrity design tool provides power savings and leakage control techniques for 130/90/65/45-nm system-on-chip designs.

RedHawk aids variable-threshold CMOS circuit techniques by accurately extracting bias networks and analyzing full-chip dynamic power integrity including instance-based Vt and It for tradeoff analysis. The tool analyzes power-gating for optimum leakage reduction and accurately models LDO regulator circuits for true transient behavior and full-chip power noise analysis.
