Research on automated ECO method of low-power modules based on unified power consumption format files
The existing process of modifying or adjusting LP modules is generally divided into two forms:manual adjustment and re-synthesis.There are obvious shortcomings and limitations:if manual labor is used,it will take a lot of time when the integrated circuit is large-scale,and the results obtained are extremely prone to errors.If the modified UPF and RTL files are used to re-integrate the door-level netlist,this is equivalent to going through the design process that has already been gone through before,which will consume a lot of time and greatly lengthen the cycle of chip update and iteration.Based on the shortcomings and limitations of the existing process,this paper proposes four new automated processes for ECO LP modules,which can reduce the occurrence of errors and greatly improve the efficiency and speed of the update and iteration of the chip design process by automating the circuit design change processing of the power consumption module.
