Low-Power Design: Retention Cell

Low power design has always been a top priority in chip design. The low power technologies adopted by Jingxin SoC training camp include: 1. Clk gating, turning off the clock signals of non-working modules; 2. Power gating, turning off the power of non-working modules; Power gating is more power-efficient than Clk gating because it eliminates … Read more

Introduction and Usage of Xilinx Power Management Library (XilPM)

Introduction and Usage of Xilinx Power Management Library (XilPM)

AMD-Xilinx MPSoC and Versal ACAP series have complex internal power structures, including Full Power Domain (FPD), Low Power Domain (LPD), single processor power domains, peripheral nodes, and memory power domains. These domains can be powered on or off, optimizing the overall solution’s power consumption. They also allow for dynamic power management at runtime to achieve … Read more
