Power Aware RTL Verification of USB 3.0 IPs
This article describes a specific Power Management scheme used in a USB 3.0 Device IP controller. It also describes how Questa Power Aware helped IP designers realize reliable, accurate and scalable low power architectures and comprehensive verification of these architectures. Additionally, this also shares the experience in using the UPF to define various power domains, isolation strategies and methods to control power states from the testbench.
