Constrained random test pattern generation entered the scene a couple of decades ago as a better way to spend time and resources for the creation of stimulus. Stimulus definition had become an arduous ...

Functional coverage is probably one of the most important components of constrained random verification strategy. Given this fact, it should be written taking every usefulaspect into account such that ...

Newark, March 9, 2010 - nSys Design Systems, offering the world’s largest portfolio of Verification IPs, announced the availability of Functional Coverage Test Suites for its nSys Verification Suite ...

If you don’t measure something you certainly can’t improve it in any meaningful way. This is especially important with a process that can never be completed due to the sheer magnitude of the ...

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 ...

System-on-a-chip (SoC) functional verification involves integrating multiple intellectual property (IP) blocks. Accordingly, understanding how to define, measure, correlate, and analyze appropriate IP ...

Chip-verification teams often confront one fundamental question: “How well is the verification process exercising the design?” Attempts to answer this query have led to the development of several ...

When is a design ready to be taped out? That has been one of the toughest questions to confront every design team, and it’s the one verification engineers lose sleep over. Exhaustive coverage has not ...
