Atheros Selects Sequence PowerTheater for Power Management.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- Atheros Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : ATHR ATHR Autothrust System ), a leading developer of advanced low power wireless solutions, chose Sequence Design's PowerTheater for early power management and low-power architecture evaluation for their new embedded wireless designs. "We want no surprises in meeting our power spec. PowerTheater enables us to detect any errant er·rant adj. 1. Roving, especially in search of adventure: knights errant. 2. Straying from the proper course or standards: errant youngsters. 3. dynamic power in RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; phase, while taking into account power reduction by clock-gating in low power synthesis," said Patrick Chan
To meet their aggressive power targets, the Atheros design team uses a variety of PowerTheater power reduction techniques, including early power analysis at RTL, architectural exploration, multi-Vt, clock and data gating, automated Wattbots and power linters, and voltage islands.
