CoolPower - Power Integrity Closure for Nanometer SoC Design
CoolPower (Next-Generation PhysicalStudio) - Power Integrity Closure for Nanometer SoC Design

CoolPowerTM* is the industry's leading cell-based Power Integrity solution for concurrent optimization of power, dynamic voltage drop, timing and signal integrity (SI) for nanometer SoC design. CoolPower predicts and corrects design closure issues both before and after routing. It gives users the ability to interactively optimize hierarchical, multimillion gate SoC designs at the block-level, as well as, full-chip level. CoolPower integrates into popular third-party place and route tools to enable existing physical flows to reach fast, predictable design closure in silicon geometries below 130 nanometers (nm).
