Register transfer level (RTL) verification remains the bottleneck in digital hardware design. Industry surveys show that functional verification accounts for 70 percent of the total design effort. Yet ...
This paper describes the process and tools used in the verification of a family of Secure Digital (SD) IP cores. The verification process described included SystemC verification, RTL simulation and ...
Today, memory “blocks” occupy an increasing portion of system-on-chip (SoC) designs. To achieve maximum density, the memory storage cell often incorporates leading-edge physical design rules that ...
Libraries play a crucial role in the entire design verification and implementation flow (DVIF). Specifically for PA design verification and implementation, special design attributes are mandatory in ...
Formal tools used for functional verification claims an upper hand on traditional simulation based tools; given their exhaustive nature of property checking and a fast learning curve. Whereas the ...
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced Xcelium Apps, a portfolio of domain-specific technologies implemented natively on the Cadence ® Xcelium ™ ...
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has developed a model-based development (MBD) simulation technology that shortens verification times for automotive semiconductors by about ...
Simulations are typically conducted before the prototype design phase in order to reduce development efforts not only in the automotive and industrial equipment markets. Even when designing electronic ...
Many electronic design automation (EDA) solutions have evolved, which is not a bad thing. Evolution attempts to preserve the tools that are already in place—investments made by designers in languages, ...
