Do you have any working example of UPF so that we can better understand it? I have watched some of the videos of Power-Aware Verification but I think I will better understand it if there’s a working example.
I would also like to ask if this UPF doesn’t require any other tool? I mean I can just write the UPF codes and compile it with my testbench and that’s it?
Regards,

Have you watched the Verification Academy course on Power Aware Verification? It will walk you through all the basics what you are asking.

Yes (to the second question), but many simulators require a separate license for power-aware simulation.

Hi cgales. Yes, I have watched some of the videos. I see how the code works but I just want to realize it by looking into a working example.
In reply to Reuben:
Most simulators that support Power Aware simulation will have examples that you can look at. Questasim has several in the ‘examples/pa_sim’ directory. I’m not aware of other sources of examples.
