As design size and complexity grows, the design verification effort grows even more. It takes significant amount of time to thoroughly verify complex control logic of a design, which is the key and ...

Given the relative novelty and complexity of RISC-V RTL designs, whether you are buying a commercially supported core or downloading a popular open-source offering, there is the small but non-zero ...

Many of today's large, complex designs can contain thousands of lines of Verilog or VHDL code. Quite often, teams of engineers—with some members possibly situated in disparate locations worldwide—will ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...

As FPGA designers strive to achieve higher performance while meeting critical timing margins, one consistently vexing performance bottleneck is the memory interface. Today's more advanced FPGAs ...

Driven by the need to objectively measure the progress of their verification efforts and the contributions of different verification techniques, IC designers have adopted coverage as a metric. However ...
