Synopsys Power Optimization Kits

Power Optimization Kits (POKs) enable designers to minimize power consumption while sustaining optimal performance and are available for Synopsys Logic Libraries at 65-nm and below. Through a set of specially designed cells, POKs enable designers to shut down parts of a design to save power, or to dynamically operate function blocks at multiple voltages to achieve optimal trade-offs between dynamic power consumption and performance in multiple operating modes.
