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 ...

With innovations in technologies and methodology, the benefits of formal functional verification apply in many more areas. If we understand the characteristics of areas with high formal applicability, ...

Formal verification associated with assertions is a well known approach to functional verification of SoC digital circuits. This technique bears several advantages over dynamic-based solutions, but ...

Over 50 engineers and engineering managers were surveyed at DAC 2009 by Jasper Design Automation as part of a market research and analysis program examining how designers use formal verification ...

There aren’t many electronic applications that require correctness, safety, and security more than automobiles and other road vehicles. Owners rely on their cars operating properly and reliably at all ...

In recent years, many longstanding assumptions about formal verification have been rendered obsolete by ever-improving technology. Applications such as connectivity checking have shown that formal can ...

Formal verification, which uses mathematical analysis rather than simulation tests, has been available in commercial EDA tools for more than 20 years and in academia much longer. As with many new ...

Learn how using formal verification can take you beyond the limitations of directed-random simulation when debugging silicon. A series of case studies provide real-world usage examples of Jasper ...
