Low power design techniques have rapidly evolved to manage power in semiconductor chips targeting a wide range of market segments from consumer to portable appliances, and even servers. Advanced low power techniques such as Power Gating, Retention, Low-Vdd Standby, and Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) employ voltage control to manage power. Designs are partitioned into power domains that can be separately controlled by one or more of the low power design techniques. Increasingly stringent power requirements have necessitated the use of multiple supply voltages. Low power designs typically operate in different modes with each mode corresponding to one or more power states. Comprehensive verification of low power designs requires verification in all the power states as well as the specified transitions and order of transitions of the power states as the design moves from one operating mode to another. A single bug may cause functional failures in silicon.
