The most effective functional verification environments employ multiple analysis technologies, where the strengths of each are combined to reinforce each other to help ensure that the device under ...

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 ...

In semiconductor design, “signoff” is often treated as a single milestone. In practice, however, it encompasses distinct verification phases with unique objectives. Functional signoff and RTL signoff ...

For years the process of ASIC and FPGA design and verification debug consisted primarily of comprehending the structure and source code of the design with waveforms showing activity over time, based ...

PARTNER CONTENT Given the size and complexity of modern semiconductor designs, functional verification has become a dominant phase in the development cycle. Coverage lies at the very heart of this ...
