Common Power Format is a new design language that addresses the limitation in the design automation tool flow by capturing the designer's intent for power management and enabling the automation of advanced power-lowering design techniques. The Common Power Format enables all design, verification, implementation—and technology-related power objectives to be captured in a single file and allows the application of that data across the design flow, providing a consistent reference point for design development and production.
