Abstract :
A novel object oriented API that enables the merger of the design power architecture specification with its HDL representation is described. The single high level view of the design and its power intent enabled by the API promotes many advantages for both design and verification users. An overview of the API architecture is presented together with a sample of methods and usage examples that illustrate its benefits.
