Ikanos adopts Calypto’s power optimization platform for SoC power optimization

SANTA CLARA, USA: Calypto Design Systems announced that Ikanos Inc. is using its PowerPro family of products for RTL power optimization of its SoC solutions.

Ikanos delivers the most comprehensive portfolio of products for the digital home in the industry. Using PowerPro CG and PowerPro MG to automatically generate power optimized RTL, Ikanos was able to dramatically reduce logic, register, clock, and memory power in its most recent SoC design.

“Calypto’s PowerPro products are the only tools in the market that deliver fully automated RTL power optimization for all of the key contributors of power dissipation in an SoC,” said Dr. Debajyoti Pal, senior VP and CTO, Ikanos.

“The PowerPro tools along with SLEC Pro, for the comprehensive verification of the PowerPro generated RTL, fit seamlessly into our design flow and enabled our design team to deliver a fully power optimized solution in record time.”

Ikanos products are used in applications where low power dissipation is a key requirement and differentiator. Most EDA tools for low power design are used during the implementation phase of the design flow or provide ineffective directives to designers for unproductive manual design modifications to reduce power.

Calypto’s fully automated PowerPro MG and CG products operate at the RTL level during design creation to ensure the resulting RTL that is fed into the design implementation flow is fully optimized to deliver the lowest power SoC possible.

“Calypto continues its assault on power by delivering the industry’s only complete optimization and verification solution that fully automates the process of delivering the most power efficient SoC solutions possible,” said Tom Sandoval, CEO of Calypto.

“The combination of PowerPro CG for sequential clock gating and PowerPro MG for sequential memory gating, along with SLEC Pro for comprehensive verification provides Ikanos with a competitive advantage that greatly benefits is customers.”
