1. Overview

1.1 Scope

This standard establishes a format used to define the low-power design intent for electronic systems and

electronic intellectual property (IP). The format provides the ability to specify the supply network, switches,

isolation, retention, and other aspects relevant to power management of an electronic system. The standard

defines the relationship between the low-power design specification and the logic design specification

captured via other formats [e.g., standard hardware description languages (HDLs)].

1.2 Purpose

The standard provides portability of low-power design specifications that can be used with a variety of

commercial products throughout an electronic system design, analysis, verification, and implementation

flow.

1.3 Key characteristics of the Unified Power Format

The Unified Power Format (UPF) provides the ability for electronic systems to be designed with power as a

key consideration early in the process. UPF accomplishes this by allowing the specification of what was

traditionally physical implementation-based power information early in the design process—at the register

transfer level (RTL) or earlier. Figure 1

shows UPF supporting the entire design flow. UPF provides a

IEEE Std 1801-2013

IEEE STANDARD FOR DESIGN AND VERIFICATION OF LOW-POWER INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

consistent format to specify power design information that may not be easily specifiable in an HDL or when

it is undesirable to directly specify the power semantics in an HDL, as doing so would tie the logic

specification directly to a constrained power implementation. UPF specifies a set of HDL attributes and

HDL packages to facilitate the expression of power intent in HDL when appropriate (see Table 4

and

Annex B

). UPF also defines consistent semantics across verification and implementation, i.e., what is

implemented is the same as what has been verified.

Figure 1—UPF tool flow

As indicated in Figure 1, UPF files are part of the design source and, when combined with the HDL,

represent a complete design description: the HDL describing the logical intent and the UPF describing the

power intent. Combined with the HDL, the UPF files are used to describe the intent of the designer. This

collection of source files is the input to several tools, e.g., simulation tools, synthesis tools, and formal

verification tools. UPF supports the successive refinement methodology (see 4.8

) where power intent

information will grow along the design flow to provide needed information for each design stage.

— Simulation tools can read the HDL/UPF design input files and perform RTL power-aware

simulation. At this stage, the UPF may only contain abstract models such as power domains and

supply sets without the need to create the power and ground network and implementation details.

— Synthesis tools can read the HDL/UPF design input files and produce a netlist. The tool or user may

produce a new UPF fileset that, combined with the netlist, represents a further refined version of

same design.

— In those cases where design object names change, a UPF file with the new names is needed. A UPF-

aware logical equivalence checker can read the full design and UPF filesets and perform the checks

to ensure power-aware equivalence.

— Place and route tools read both the netlist and the UPF files and produce a physical netlist,

potentially including an output UPF file.

IEEE Std 1801-2013

IEEE STANDARD FOR DESIGN AND VERIFICATION OF LOW-POWER INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

UPF is a concise power intent specification capability. Power intent can be easily specified over many

elements in the design. A UPF specification can be included with the other deliverables of IP blocks and

reused along with the other delivered IP. UPF supports various methodologies through carefully defined

semantics, flexibility in specification, and, when needed, defined rational limitations that facilitate

automation in verification and implementation (see Annex E

A UPF specification defines how to create a supply network to supply power to each instance, how the

individual supply nets behave with respect to one another, and how the logic functionality is extended to

support dynamic power switching to these logic instances. By controlling the states and voltages of the

supplies provided to the supply network, and by controlling the states of power switches that are part of the

supply network, the power management logic of a system can cause each functional region to receive the

power required to complete its computational tasks in a timely manner.

1.4 Use of color in this standard

This standard uses a minimal amount of color to enhance readability. The coloring is not essential and does

not affect the accuracy of this standard when viewed in pure black and white. The places where color is used

are the following:

— Cross references that are hyperlinked to other portions of this standard are shown in underlined-blue

text (hyperlinking works when this standard is viewed interactively as a PDF file).

— Syntactic keywords and tokens in the formal language definitions are shown in boldface-red text.

— Command arguments that can be provided incrementally (layered) are shown in boldface-green

text. See also 5.11

— Syntactic keywords and tokens that have been explicitly identified as legacy or deprecated constructs

(see 6.1

) may be shown in brown text.

are listed in Annex A

3.1 Definitions

active component: A component that contains one or more input receivers and one or more output drivers

whose values are functions of the inputs, but whose inputs and outputs are not directly connected; or any

HDL construct(s) that synthesize(s) to an active component.

active control signal: A control signal that is currently presenting the value (level) or transition (edge) that

enables or triggers an active component to operate in a particular manner.

active power state: A power state whose logic expression and, if present, supply expression evaluate to

True at a given time.

activity: Any change in the value of a net, regardless of whether that change is propagated to an output.

ancestor: Any instance between the current scope in the logic hierarchy and its root scope. When the

current scope is a top-level module, it does not have any ancestors. See also: descendant.

anonymous object: An object that is not named in the context of UPF. Implementations may assign a legal

name, but such names are not visible in the UPF context.

balloon latch: A retention element style in which a register’s value is saved to a dedicated latch at power-

down and the latch value is restored to the register at power-up.

boundary instance: An instance that has no parent or whose parent is in a different power domain.
