Low Power Video Series

Josefina describes how the “power domain” UPF logical construct is translated to its physical representation, called a voltage area.

In this video, Josefina explains the concept and usage of scope in UPF power intent. She gives examples of how to define power intent with respect to various scopes in a design.

Josefina explains the concept of state retention. She gives an overview of various state retention techniques, discussing the tradeoffs for each.

Josefina defines the concept of a power domain and explains how to properly partition. She also offers guidance on the criteria for deciding whether, and, how many, power domains should be used.

Describes the various special cells that can be used in UPF-enabled advanced low power design.

In this video, Josefina provides a basic explanation of various advanced low power technique and associated terminology.

This is the first video in the series. In this video, Josefina gives an overview of low power as a constraint, as well as highlights what will be covered in the series.

This video defines the concept of power intent and the Unified Power Format (UPF) language used to describe it.
