Chip Design Verification Methodology

Chip Design Verification Methodology

Chip designers do their best to use the latest cocktail of verification techniques and tools, and EDA companies continually innovate new verification tools, design flows, and pre-verified silicon IP, in a valiant effort to achieve the elusive goal of achieving chip design verification perfection.

Verification Tool Comparison

The increasing size and complexity of SoC/ASIC designs have led to an exponential increase in the complexity of validation. In order to reduce time to market, it is important to choose different verification tools in different design stages to improve efficiency and accelerate the convergence of verification.

Heterogeneous Verification Platform

FPGA-based prototyping tools are scalable, cost-effective for almost any design, offer capable debug visibility, and are well suited to hardware-software co-verification. S2C has researched how the need for co-verification evolved with chip complexity, where FPGAs got their start in verification, and why ASIC design benefits from fpga verification methodology .

Design architecture planning, system performance analysis, virtualization application scenarios and IP modeling in the early stage

Support SystemVerilog, Verilog and VHDL RTL level simulation

Hardware simulation accelerates super-large design simulation speed and supports automatic compilation and full signal visibility

High-performance prototype verification for early software development and extensive system testing

Use transaction-level interfaces to reduce test program development time while ensuring the accuracy of system results
