Method and system for conducting low-power design explorations are
disclosed. The method includes receiving an RTL netlist of a circuit
design, creating one or more power requirement files, wherein each power
requirement file comprises power commands corresponding to the RTL
netlist, generating one or more low-power RTL netlists using the
corresponding one or more power requirement files and the RTL netlist,
and conducting low-power design explorations using the one or more
low-power RTL netlists.
