Patent number: 8943452Abstract: A computer-implemented method for debugging the power aspect of an IC design by integrating the power specification expressed in certain power specification format and its corresponding circuit design within a power schematic diagram called power map. Power map is created by using a power data base generated by regrouping the original circuit design hierarchy to new hierarchies defined by the power specification. Power map contains power cell symbols (such as isolation cells, level shifters, power switches) and signal nets, and can show the relationship between power domains. Power map can also display mismatches or errors between the power specification and the circuit design for those signals connecting the power domains. Furthermore, power map can be used in conjunction with simulation result.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2012Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Synopsys Taiwan Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chih-Neng Hsu, I-Liang Lin, Wen-Chi Feng

Publication number: 20140013293Abstract: Power information associated with an IC design is displayed graphically and hierarchically using a power map, thereby providing an intuitive way for describing the power distribution among various power domains of the IC and parent-child relationships within the power domains. Each power domain is associated with a power control for controlling the power domain. The status of the power control for each power domain is displayed on the power map. The power map may include a token to set and display current operating mode of the IC design to enable the IC design to be debugged under different operating modes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2012Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: SYNOPSYS TAIWAN CO., LTD.Inventors: Chih-Neng Hsu, I-Liang Lin, Wen-Chi Feng
