Power Allocation using Multiple Voltage Domains for Programmable Logic Devices

Abstract:

An integrated circuit device that includes programmable logic circuitry that includes a plurality of regions each configured to operate at different voltage levels. The regions may be separated by level shifters that enable communication between the different voltage level regions. The integrated circuitry may also include software that performs voltage aware placement and routing for a user register-transfer level design, and may direct logic to regions according to voltages defined for the regions.
