The Evolution of UPF: What’s Next?
Usage of the Unified Power Format (UPF) is growing rapidly as low power design and verification becomes increasingly necessary. In parallel, the UPF standard has continued to evolve. A previous article1 described and compared the initial UPF standard, defined by Accellera, and the more recent IEEE 1801-2009 UPF standard, also known as UPF 2.0. The IEEE definition of UPF is the current version of the standard, at least for now, but that is about to change.
