The VLSI design cycle is divided into two phases: Front-end and Back-end. Front-end covers the architectural specifications, coding and verification, whereas back-end involves the physical ...

The VLSI design cycle is partitioned into two phases i.e. front-end and back-end phases of the complete SoC design cycle. While at front-end, most of the architectural specifications, coding and ...

Three methods for testing functional equivalence are currently available to designers — conventional simulation, cone-based equivalence checking, and symbolic simulation. Most designers are familiar ...

IO libraries and interface IPs are an important part of any integrated circuit design that needs to communicate with the outside world or other integrated circuits. Interface IPs are the literal ...
