ANSYS Subsidiary Apache Design Launches RTL Power Model, Enabling Early Planning and Accelerating Ultra-Low Power Design Delivery

November 8, 2011

Pittsburgh – November 8, 2011 – ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) subsidiary Apache Design Inc. launched RTL Power Model (RPM™), a first-in-class innovative technology designed to optimize a wide range of power-sensitive applications, such as ultra-low-power electronics. RPM bridges the power gap from register-transfer-language (RTL) design to physical implementation. The new technology accurately predicts integrated circuit (IC) power behavior at the RTL level with consideration for how the design is physically implemented. As a result, the technology helps to enable chip power delivery network (PDN) and IC package design decisions early in the design process, as well as to ensure chip power … Read More → "ANSYS Subsidiary Apache Design Launches RTL Power Model, Enabling Early Planning and Accelerating Ultra-Low Power Design Delivery"
