Verification is the single biggest challenge in the design of system-on-chip (SoC) devices and reusable IP blocks. Traditional verification methods struggle to keep pace with the ever-increasing size ...

The SystemVerilog standard is the result of an industry-wide effort to extend the Verilog language in a consistent way to include enhanced modeling and verification features. By adding verification ...

As verification engineers move to more-sophisticated techniques for system-on-chip (SoC) designs, their planning process is evolving as well. Traditional test-based planning is being supplanted by ...

The industry’s first book covering the Open Verification Methodology (OVM), titled “Step-by-Step Functional Verification with SystemVerilog and OVM,” provides a complete reference to adopting the OVM ...

Modeling a verification environment with transactions encompasses many areas, including test bench design and debug, golden model comparison, functional verification between abstraction levels and ...

Let’s say you have a block you need to verify. How do you know that the stimulus you are about to use is exhaustive enough and that you have covered the necessary scenarios/situations to prove it is ...

This course covers the systematic design of real-time digital systems and verification techniques using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The course presents a top-down design methodology, where ...

People freely interchange the terms “test” and “verification.” It’s understandable when terms like testcase, testbench and device under test (DUT) are in conjunction with different types of ...
