RTL Power Analysis and Optimization

Welcome to our course on RTL Power Analysis and Optimization! This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of semiconductor technology, its usage across various industries, and the transformation it brings. The course is broken into five lessons, each focusing on specific aspects of semiconductors, from their basic introduction to advanced power analysis and optimization techniques.

We will dive deeper into the design of semiconductors, explaining the ASIC design flow and the different stages of designing a semiconductor. The importance of power efficiency and the different types of power consumption in CMOS will be extensively covered. We will conclude the course with an exploration of RTL logic, power optimization techniques, and how to avoid and resolve RTL power bugs.

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

1. Understand the role and importance of semiconductors in various industries.
2. Understand the process of designing a semiconductor, including the ASIC design flow.
3. Understand the different types of power consumption in CMOS and the importance of power efficiency in modern electronic systems.
4. Understand RTL logic and the benefits of RTL power optimization.
5. Identify and resolve common RTL power bugs to design more efficient semiconductors.
