Section 11.2 addresses two topics: detection of errors in logic design and formal verification, the latter being a method to verify logic design by mathematical reasoning. Section 11.3 introduces the use of Built-in Self-Test (BIST) method to monitor circuit delays in a VLSI precisely enough to...
Generate test cases t(INPUT) for each path in Pu. Finally, manually verify the expected values for all t(INPUT) and complete them as t(INPUT,EXPECT). Pu=Pt−Pc 2. Software description PC-TRT is an effective test case reuse tool comprising four modules: static analysis, dynamic analysis...
RISC-V processors based on increasingly popular open standard instruction set architecture (ISA) are challenging to verify because of their optional features, implementation flexibility, and custom extensions. However, their uniformity and modular design present a unique opportunity to develop a high-...
In our work, we consider the write and read register function as a kernel of a microprocessor; similar to a sequential machine, and we use the checking experiment to verify the kernal based on the fault models. Then we use the kernal for testing other instructions. Our approach consists of...
They also create a simple testbench to verify the basic functionalities of the circuit. Verification engineers (whose number is usually larger compared to the number of designers) are in charge of creating the verification environment and a testbench (referred to in Figure 7 as “simulation ...
