Detecting Leakage Problems in Low-Power Designs
Nikkei Electronics Asia –Mike Demler – 9/07
There is increasing pressure on designers to incorporate low-power techniques in order to meet the rapidly growing demand for battery-operated, portable consumer electronics devices. At the same time, migration of semiconductor processes to 65nm and below has changed device physics such that controlling leakage is the major challenge for all designers working in advanced nanometer technologies. Dynamic simulation can fail to detect high current paths that result from errors in power-management circuitry that is intended to perform leakage control. To address this verification gap, a new set of solutions for vectorless transistor-level analysis of power-down circuits and leakage paths has been developed and is discussed in this article. |
