If all goes according to schedule, the new version (2.1) of five-year-old Unified Power Format (UPF) standard will be approved by the IEEE early next year. This is good news, because in the five years ...

Low power design and verification engineers need a way to continuously probe various dynamic properties of UPF objects in order to monitor the current state of a verification strategy and utilize that ...

Now that there are two competing industry formats to capture power intent for low-power designs—the Common Power Format (CPF) and the Unified Power Format (UPF)—design teams need to understand the ...

If we know what isn’t ‘unhealthy’, then what is ‘healthy’? In recent years, research has not viewed UPF favourably. Examples include studies linking UPF consumption to poor health outcomes such as a ...
