The initial results include ARC's recently introduced"Energy Pro" technology and development tools that work seamlesslywith the new Cadence Low-Power Solution, a power-optimized version ofthe Encounter Platform. These solutions integrate ARC's advancedpower-management technologies and leverage the Common Power Format(CPF)-enabled reference flow that is based on the Cadence(R) Low PowerSolution. CPF 1.0 is now available as an Si2 standard to the industryat large. A free brochure, "Low Power RDM for Energy PRO Technology"with details on this new solution is downloadable.
