ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein which compensate for the loss in design information that occurs when the design is represented in traditional functional descriptions. An automated multiple voltage/power state design process includes creating a plurality of design objects; processing a design definition according to the voltage effects design object; and generating a modified design output such that communication between a plurality of design process steps, wherein the plurality of design process steps include a parsing step, a RTL simulation step, a synthesis step, a gate simulation step, formal verification step, and physical design and verification step in accordance with the voltage effects design object. A system for automating a multiple voltage/power state design process includes a design definition module; a parser module, a RTL simulation module, a synthesis module, a gate simulation module, and a formal verification module wherein the automation of a multiple voltage/power state design process is achieved. The system can include a physical design and verification module coupled to the synthesis module.
