Azuro's PowerCentric Reduces Power on CSR Designs.MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Azuro, Inc. a provider of innovative electronic design automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) tools that significantly reduce the power consumption of digital semiconductor chips, today announced that CSR Plc CSR (LSE: CSR), or Cambridge Silicon Radio is a company based in Cambridge, England whose main product line is a single-chip implementation of the Bluetooth standard for radio-signal communication between devices. CSR is a fabless semiconductor manufacturer. . (LSE LSE - Language Sensitive Editor :CSR (1) (Customer Service Representative) A person who handles a customer's request regarding a bill, account changes or service or merchandise ordered. Agents in call centers are known as CSRs. See call center. ), the global provider of Bluetooth and WiFi technology, has successfully taped-out using Azuro's PowerCentric(TM) clock implementation solution. "Low power is a key driver for CSR," said James Collier James William Collier (b. September 28, 1872 - d. September 28, 1933) was a politician from the U.S. state of Mississippi. Born on the Glenwood Plantation near Vicksburg in 1872, he graduated from the University of Mississippi at Oxford in 1894 with a degree in law. , co-founder and chief technology officer of CSR. "PowerCentric fits seamlessly into our design flow and has enabled us to achieve significant reductions in the digital power consumption of our chips." Without careful power management, the clock and registers can account for as much as 80 percent of on-chip digital switching power. PowerCentric uniquely combines clock gating and clock buffering into one unified low power clock implementation solution, which completely replaces clock tree synthesis in existing industry design flows. "Clock implementation is a critical segment of any low power design flow," said Paul Cunningham Paul G. Cunningham (born 1937) is a minister and general superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene. , co-founder and chief executive officer of Azuro. "PowerCentric's unique technology enables design teams to manage the aggressive trade-offs between clock QoR and power that are necessary to deliver best-in-class low power silicon. We are delighted to be working with CSR and look forward to continuing to deliver significant power savings on their chips."
