Design For Power With Sequence At DAC, Booth 4860.


Low-Power Leader Spotlights Complete "DFP (Digital Flat Panel) A digital interface for a flat panel display from VESA (www.vesa.org). Based on the electrical interface of the earlier P&D (Plug & Display) standard, DFP uses TMDS transmission and a 20-pin mini-D ribbon (MDR) connector. " Flow, Advanced Power-Management And Extraction Technologies

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Sequence Design is unveiling the 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.  industry's most comprehensive suite of tools for power-aware design at this year's DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control.

DAC - Digital to Analog Converter
 with its Design For Power (DFP) Flow, attacking the challenges of low-power design holistically, from 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;  to GDS GDS Global Distribution System

. Customers already employing Sequence's DFP Flow are reporting RTL power reduction of up to 50 percent, a 50 percent speedup in design closure times, and leakage power reduction of up to 1,000X.

Demos of all Sequence products and their implementation in a complete DFP Flow will be available at DAC by advance registration. To register online: http://www.sequencedesign.com/dac-2007/index.htm.

"DFP is a holistic approach holistic approach A term used in alternative health for a philosophical approach to health care, in which the entire Pt is evaluated and treated. See Alternative medicine, Holistic medicine.  to power, enabling power exploration from the architectural level through physical implementation, reducing power while preventing power problems in timing, SI, and power grid design, with exclusive 'silicon-aware' features," said Vic Kulkarni, Sequence president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. .

Dazzling DFP DAC Demos

Sequence's DFP Flow comprises PowerTheater for RTL power analysis and reduction, with new PowerTheater-Explorer for power visualization and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. . Accelerated design closure, power reduction, and power-grid integrity is supplied by the company's CoolProducts family, now with power gating analysis and simultaneous switching noise options. The award-winning Columbus extraction engine provides statistical corner parasitics for significantly increased margin in the DFP flow.
