Synopsys Power Optimization Kits (POKs) enable designers to minimize power consumption while maintaining optimal performance. Available for Synopsys Logic Libraries at 65 nm and below, these kits include a set of specially designed cells that allow designers to shut down portions of a design to save power. Additionally, Synopsys POKs support dynamic operation of functional blocks at multiple voltages, enabling optimal trade-offs between dynamic power consumption and performance across various operating modes.
