Verification engineers are the unsung heroes of the semiconductor industry, but they are at a breaking point and desperately in need of modern tools and flows to deal with the rapidly increasing ...

With the increasing size and complexity of FPGA devices, there is a need for more efficient verification methods. Timing simulation can be the most revealing verification method; however, it is often ...

How formal verification is able to find bugs before signoff. Formal verification’s ability to mathematically prove exhaustively that a chip design meets a set of assertions. Formal techniques are ...

It’s no secret that hardware is the new currency in the chip world. It’s no longer the case that the semiconductor industry is in the hands of traditional semiconductor giants; an increasing number of ...

The key rule for chip design and verification is that bugs must be found and fixed as early in the development process as possible. It is often said that catching a bug at each successive project ...
