At present, power consumption has become a factor in design of integrated circuit with growing concern in addition to timing and area. Currently, there are many methods to reduce power consumption. In the paper, standard complete technique of Unified Power Format (UPF) based on IEEE1801 standard is used in the design realization and verification process of one chip in order to utilize various design methods of low power consumption more effectively in design implementation flow. The whole

How to describe low power consumption intention with UPF and how to use Synopsys tool to realize the whole process are mainly introduced. In the paper, some methods of low power consumption design are firstly introduced, which are commonly used at present, the realization method with power-gating is specially utilized to control statistic power consumption and UPF. Then, the application of UPF in the design is described, and conclusion is given finally.
