Power Aware Static Verification: From Power Intent to Microarchitectural Checks of Low Power Designs - Part 1
Power Aware Static Verification is primarily targeted to uncover the power aware structural issues that affects designs physically in architectural and microarchitectural aspects. The structural changes that occur in a PA design are mostly due to physical insertions of special power management and MV cells; such as power switches (PSW), isolation (ISO), level shifter (LS), enable level shifter (ELS), repeaters (RPT), and retentions flops (RFF).
