Power Forward Initiative (PFI) Community

Low-Power Design Guide

The members of PFI came together to devise, refine and validate the holistic, CPF-enabled design, verification and implementation methodology. The goal was to quickly enable the rapid deployment of a design automation solution that comprehends power at every stage of the design process. 'A Practical Guide to Low Power Design' embodies the collective intellectual work and experience of some of the best engineers in the electronics industry. Our goal is to share our experience with the world's design community.
