Ten years ago, power was a minor concern for many IC designers. Today, four in five chips have a power budget below 2W. This emphasis on low power is due in large part to the explosion of compact mobile systems, but also to the need to reign in the overall power consumption of large-scale systems such as servers and switches. Yet despite these tightening power requirements, few chip designers have the tools and techniques in place to meet their budgets. Until recently, in fact, few EDA tools were available to assist in low power design.
