Let’s Talk about Multi-Voltage Magic

Last week at SNUG, there were so many tutorials on Low Power and everyone’s concerns/questions seems to be dancing around Multi-Voltage design. What I could sense was there were lot of designers Implementing Multi-Supply(Power-Gating) as opposed to real Multi-Voltage design. There are 3 classics style of new design style i found

(1) Multi-Supply(Power Gating)
(2) Static Multi-Voltage
(3) Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling

Lets us discuss about the Magic of Multi-Voltage design in coming few weeks. Like any other design implementation, MV design has its own challenges and much more difficult to sign-off.

I would like to classify the different stages of the design into small segments so that we can discuss one by one within next few weeks.

Design Infrastructure
Architectural level consideration
Microarchitecture
RTL Design
RTL functional verification
Implementation
Functional Sign-Off
Silicon Signoff
Resources For Help

Next week is going to be a in-depth technical week i guess!
