Lowering the power consumption and leakage in SoCs and other electrical designs has become a paramount concern in recent years. The reasons for this are many and well understood. The structures and ...

When we talk about the signoff of digital IP, we are referring to the full verification of a block. Every feature listed in a device’s datasheet requires verification. Furthermore, every register ...

Every design team is looking to reduce RTL verification time in order to meet aggressive schedules. Successful teams have moved their level of design abstraction up to the C++ or SystemC level and ...

Coverage has become a key technology in the pursuit of efficient and accurate verification of large designs. Obviously, simulation is still the cornerstone of verification, but the time when a single ...

Every design verification technique requires coverage metrics to gauge progress, assess effectiveness, and help determine when the design is robust enough for tapeout. At every step of the way and ...
