Every design verification technique requires coverage metrics to gauge progress, assess effectiveness, and help determine when the design is robust enough for tapeout. At every step of the way and ...

If functional verification already consumes most of the IC logical design flow, as some studies suggest, what's going to happen as chip complexity reaches 10 million or 100 million gates? The answer ...

Coverage dominates every aspect of verification for today’s complex IP and chip designs. Coverage metrics provide critical feedback on what has been verified and what has not, especially when ...

PARTNER CONTENT Given the size and complexity of modern semiconductor designs, functional verification has become a dominant phase in the development cycle. Coverage lies at the very heart of this ...

In semiconductor design, “signoff” is often treated as a single milestone. In practice, however, it encompasses distinct verification phases with unique objectives. Functional signoff and RTL signoff ...
