Clock monitors in SoC verificationPINAL PATEL
This article describes some of the techniques that can be well handled by a real time clock (RTC) within a system on chip (SoC) by providing efficient protection against hardware as well as software tampers, thereby making it an essential item in every s

Multi-CPU parallelization: Verification can be parallelized across multiple cores, delivering up to 10X faster turnaround time on SoC designs. “Accelerating SoC delivery to meet tight design schedules while keeping development costs down continues to be a growing customer challenge with today’s comple...
Meridian CDC’s fast performance, high precision, and high capacity enables quick clock domain crossing verification, from individual blocks to billion-gate SoC designs. Additionally, it is the simplest-to-use CDC solution in the industry, with integrated debug. ...
Verification engineers then simulate tests as a second step using the CDC assertions and coverage monitors from step 1. Tests identified as being effective in step 2 are run with the metastability effects injectors enabled in step 3. The coverage monitors actually track activity at each bit of ev...
When the parallel clock buffers are directly driven by the same input clock port, MMCM, XPLL, DPLL, or GT*_QUAD, the buffers are always placed in the same clock region as their driver regardless of the netlist changes or logic placement variation. Match the insertion delays between parallel...
In this application it uses strong internal pull-ups when emitting 1s. Port 0 is also used to input the code byte during programming and to output the code byte during verification. Port 1: 8-bit I/O port. Alternate functions include: (P1.0-P1.5): Programmable I/O port pins. (P1.6,...

Clock signals in synchronous digital systems (such as those found in telecommunications) define when and how quickly data is moved through that system. A clock distribution network, consisting of multiple clock signals, distributes those signals from a shared point to all of the components in the...
