Design verification has been the dominant portion of chip development for years, and the challenges grow bigger every day. Single dies continue to grow in transistor count and complexity. Advanced ...

While the disciplines of functional verification and test serve different purposes, their histories were once closely intertwined. Recent safety and security monitoring requirements coupled with ...

Meeting the quality requirements of a complex SoC requires managing large verification projects. In this article, we recount a recent experience with a verification management solution (Incisive ...

Design for testability (DFT) works to make a circuit more testable to ensure that it was manufactured correctly. Alfred Crouch explains the purpose of DFT in his book, Design-For-Test for Digital ICs ...

SAN FRANCISCO — EDA can help by automating some of the “bookkeeping” aspects of verification, but ultimately that is no substitute for the thinking that goes into creating a verification plan, ...
