Abstract: Code coverage plays an important role in verification. It is essential to meet the target numbers for the code coverage metrics at the end of functional verification. The verification of a ...
Verification is a very expensive activity in integrated circuit (IC) development. It is also a difficult activity to complete efficiently. Coverage-driven verification (CDV) has been widely adopted in ...
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 ...
The huge undertaking of verifying a system-on-chip (SoC) design has challenged engineers for more than 20 years –– the amount of time spent on it hasn’t varied much from between 50-70% of the entire ...
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 ...
