ASIC Verification Trends
The industry uses majorly three kinds of verification technologies:
Dynamic Verification – Simulation
Category: Verification
SystemVerilog Testbench/Verification Environment Architecture
Most of the well-known SystemVerilog textbooks available in the market explain the language concepts focusing more on language constructs, keywords, datatypes, examples, etc., without following a pro...
Functional Coverage
In this article, let us see how functional coverage is different from code coverage and how do we use it to sign-off the.
SystemVerilog Interfaces
This video explains why we prefer SystemVerilog interfaces than Verilog port level connections to build the IPs & Chips. It also explains the difference between Verilog port level connection and Syst...
Test Plan Vs Verification Plan[Vplan]
Test Plan is a traditional term primarily used for the directed test cases that we used to create in HDL - Verilog/VHDL. But in SystemVerilog [SV], we create random test cases, as the language suppor...
Why do we prefer Packets/Transactions to create SV TB as a TLM?
In SystemVerilog, you can define the transaction[packet/frame] using class data type. But you should know why we prefer transactions to implement SV TB as a TLM[Transaction].
How do I learn SystemVerilog in a week?
You can learn and get some exposure, but becoming an expert user of SystemVerilog[SV] depends on your prior programming experience in Verilog and any OOP based languages like++.
Is it worth reading SystemVerilog LRM?
Language Reference Manual is the main source of reference for everyone, EDA vendor, Design & Verification Engineer, Training,.
Which protocols are good for a fresh VLSI verification engineer to get a job?
Mostly we use AMBA bus protocols AXI/AHB for the on-chip bus [backplane] communication in any SoC. So, learning AMBA protocols will be a.
PSS – Portable Test and Stimulus Standard
Every aspiring and growing verification engineer might be searching for the answer to the question ‘What is PSS?’, as it’s an interesting concept that will transform the manual or semi-automate...
