DESIGN OF LOW-POWER ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS USING UPF POWER INTENT SPECIFICATION TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

In this review paper, the problem of the design of energy-efficient electronic systems is considered. Different energy-saving methods are presented. The necessity of additional tools of formal behavioral description of the power subsystem is explained. The elements of the power domain energy subsystem are explained, the design stages for the system with power domains are presented. Unified Power Format (UPF) is presented as a tool to describe power intent in a low- power system. An example system with the UPF-description is presented.
