Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) has announced that the Low Power Coalition (LPC) has issued a Request for Technology (RFT) seeking additional enabling technologies building upon and enhancing the Common Power Format (CPF). CPF was recently approved as a Si2 specification and will be released industry-wide after a patent exclusionary period ending on March 4, 2007.
“This RFT, the technology donations expected, and the release of the CPF specifications are all strong indications of the viability of CPF as an important low-power specification,“ says Steve Schulz, president and CEO of Si2. “As mobile applications become increasingly important to the semiconductor industry, it is critical that we move to common standards for defining low-power intent in the design flow.”
