vWIZ-LP reads IEEE 1801 (UPF) power intent — and, optionally, a gate netlist and Liberty — and checks that the structure of your power architecture is right without simulating a single vector. It is a static low-power verifier and debugger that catches power-intent mistakes early, so power domains, isolation, level shifters, retention and power switches are consistent before power-aware simulation begins.
Reads IEEE 1801 (UPF) power intent and builds the supply-net and power-state view the checks run against.
Verifies isolation and level-shifter structure on signals that cross between power domains, without simulation.
Checks that retention strategy on state elements is structurally consistent with the power intent.
Examines power-switch structure and the power-gating architecture described in the UPF.
Validates power-domain definitions and their supply-net associations across the design.
Optionally correlates the power intent against a gate netlist and Liberty for structure-level checks.
