IEEE P1801 - Unified Power Format Standard

Working Group Charter

The charter of the P1801 Low Power Working Group is to specificy a format to be used in defining the low power design intent for electronic systems and electronic intellectual property. The scope of the format is to provide the ability to specify the supply network, switches, isolation, retention and other aspects relevant to power management of an electronic system. The standard will define the relationship between the low power design specification and the logic design specification captured via other formats (e.g., standard hardware description languages). Accellera's Unified Power Format (UPF) standard will provide a technology foundation for this standard.

The standard provides portability of low power design specifications that can be used with a variety of commercial products throughout an electronic system design, analysis, verification and implementation flow.
