When we talk about the signoff of digital IP, we are referring to the full verification of a block. Every feature listed in a device’s datasheet requires verification. Furthermore, every register ...

The Formal Property Verification (FPV) methodology often gets used in the last step of verification flow, after much time spent building a complex random constrained UVM (Universal Verification ...

The advent of advanced verification methodologies such as the UVM and its predecessors VMM and OVM has changed the verification landscape in many ways. Design and verification teams used to worry ...

The first major challenge directly comes from the limited data. Unlike software engineering tasks, where large-scale public data is abundant, the hardware domain, especially UVM verification, is ...

Automation has become the backbone of modern SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments. As designs scale from block-level modules to full system-on-chips (SoCs), engineers rely heavily on scripts to ...

We have all been witnesses to the rapid improvements of the iPhone processor chip every year. With the iPhone 8 featuring the newest A11 Bionic at 10 nm FinFET with 4.3 billion transistors, I can’t ...

In ASIC design verification, error scenarios are a key part of successful closure. In most projects, engineers typically reuse past project components or verification ...

It’s time to put to rest 11 of the most common myths about verification intellectual property (VIP). SmartDV’s Bipul Talukdar, Director of Applications Engineering, explains why it’s used in a ...
