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). |
