Formal verification and functional verification are two complementary approaches to ASIC verification. Formal verification uses mathematical methods to prove that a design meets its specifications, while functional verification...
As an experienced ASIC verification engineer, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of a thorough verification plan. A well-crafted verification plan can help to ensure that your design is bug-free and ready for production...
Introduction: In the realm of Design Verification, debugging stands as a crucial process for uncovering and rectifying issues that may compromise the functionality, reliability, and performance of complex chip designs. While the...
🌟 Hello Fellow Verification Engineers! 🌟 Let’s talk about the secret sauce that fuels verification excellence – the power of our thought process! As experts in our field, we understand that practical approaches...
In the world of semiconductor design and verification, the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) has become the industry standard for coverage-driven verification (CDV). CDV aims to ensure that all parts of a design are...
As an engineer, debugging complex issues can be one of the most challenging tasks we face on a daily basis. When a problem arises, it can be tempting to jump in and start looking for the solution right away. However, taking a...
As RISC-V processor development matures and the core’s usage in SoCs and microcontrollers grows, engineering teams face new verification challenges related not to the RISC-V core itself but rather to the system based on or...
With innovations in technologies and methodology, the benefits of formal functional verification apply in many more areas. If we understand the characteristics of areas with high formal applicability, we can identify not only...
Over the years, design complexity and size have stubbornly obeyed the growth curve predicted by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore. Moore stated that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two...
