Abstract
In one aspect, a method includes invoking a signoff tool via a first command from an implementation tool running on a register transfer level (RTL) design, and executing a native command of the signoff tool from within the implementation tool. The native command generates a notification. The method also includes determining whether the RTL design passes a low-power signoff check based on the notification and sending the design for final signoff verification based on the determination that the RTL design passes the low-power signoff checks.
