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 ...

While simulation models of standard off-the-shelf memory components have taken leaps and bounds forward with respect to functionality and debug capabilities, embedded memory models have not changed ...

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 ...

Many design project teams and research and development groups are working to significantly reduce system verification runtimes and perform system verification earlier in the design process. One ...

Today, teams often rely on disconnected logs, postmortems, and ad-hoc debug when failures emerge in the field. Lifecycle ...

Low power testbenches today have no visibility of the UPF objects and their states during a low power simulation. This has been one of the factors limiting the users from writing re-usable low power ...

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 ...
