Power Reduction Techniques
1. Low power design techniques
- Dynamic power
- Reduce toggle count
- RTL clock gating
- Chip level, Unit level, Block level clock gating
- Inferred clock gating using ICGs -- increase clock gating percentage
- Reduce voltage
- Multiple Modes for use cases
- Structural placement (reducing interconnect cap)
- Accurate power estimation to target re-architecting dynamic power critical blocks
- Reduce cell drive strengths
- Reduce total std_cell area
- VT sweep to achieve best subset of cells for timing closure and lower power
- dont_use/dont_touch settings
- Reduce glitches/noise
- Reduce total net length
- Clustered placement, reduce detours
- Multiple modes (different Vdd, different Frequency)
- split rails (VDD_mem, VDD_logic correspondingly)
- Relax max_trans constraint
- compromise between design robustness and over-sizing of cells
- Disable high drive strength cells if timing is met
- Disable complex cells
- Enable Register Retiming
- Pin-swapping to offload high switching nets
- Useful clock skew to lower the drive strength of cells in data path
- Proper Technology node selection for your design
- Multiple Voltage Islands
- Low power designware (DW) datapath components
- Achieve best Clock tree quality (latency, skew)
- Results in less hold buffers, design area
- Accurate timing constraints
- Not to optimize some false or relaxed paths by design
- Better PLL for jitter margins
- Third party IPs
- Multibit flip-flops to reduce clock tree power
- Custom placement
- SAIF based placement, Low Power Placement (LPP) flow
- Best Memory placement, Floorplanning - which affects placement, total net
length
- Software scheduling to avoid peak power use cases
- SRAM selection
- Sweep to change floorplan and reduce total net length
- Low Power Flop (LP Flops) usage in Synthesis
2. - Leakage power
- Multi VT, multi drive strengths
- Leakage, area recovery using ECOs
- Power gating (header/footer)
- Body bias
- overdrive technique
- Control LVT usage in PD (allow only % of LVT cells)
- 3-sigma versus 2-sigma corners
- Reduces yield but better leakage
- Characterized library at power corner (Scaling factors across corners will be
pessimistic)
