Tool achieves RTL-level power analysis

Offered to improve RTL power analysis accuracy, the PowerPro Analyzer RTL power analyzer tool performs sequential analysis of the entire design and enables designers to finally move away from time-consuming gate-level power analysis flows. These flows require designers to run complex gate-level simulations to provide the power analysis tool with accurate design behavior that emulates real-world functionality. Running those same simulations at the RTL level improves efficiency tenfold, often reducing the overall power analysis task time from days to hours.

PowerPro Analyzer is a powerful graphical visualization tool that provides a complete view of power dissipation in an RTL design. The tool also allows designers to view the optimizations recommended by the company’s PowerPro CG and PowerPro MG (memory gating) products. Power dissipation and optimization data can be provided in the context of RTL source code, schematic display, design hierarchy, and various sortable reports. ($50,000 PowerPro Analyzer with block-level power analysis, available October 2009; chip-level power analysis, available February 2010.)
