IEEE 1801

UPF power state tables have become unwieldy due to rapid growth in LP design. The new construct, 'add_power_state' enables better verification flows.

The group that developed the IEEE 1801 Unified Power Format standard is looking to bringing power modeling and estimation to the system level for version 3.0, due in 2015.

The latest revision of the IEEE 1801 Unified Power Format standard for verifying low-power designs has been made available through the IEEE Get Program.
