Abstract
SystemC language is widely used for hardware modules and whole systems on chip development. Hardware development for low power applications requires power management techniques like power gating, clock gating and memory power control. SystemC does not support power related features that is a gap between power intentions at architecture level and power specification implemented in RTL. We suggest SCPower extension that allows to inject power specification into SystemC designs and automatically generate UPF file. The SCPower extension provides power aware SystemC simulation that is equivalent to RTL simulation with power specification in UPF.
