A simulator like Synopsys VCS® or a formal engine like Synopsys VC Formal can detect most gross syntax violations. However, these tools are not optimized to find problems in code syntax and may take more time
These generated DPI models run natively in HDL simulators including Siemens® Questa™, Cadence® Xcelium™, Synopsys® VCS®, and Vivado® simulator from AMD®. ASIC Testbench can generate verification components for the Universal Verification Methodology from MATLAB code or Simulink ...
and randomly assign 0’s and 1’s to them. This would have to be done using a tool as doing so manually would be impractical. The problem with this approach is how would you know whether you have covered
图10 Synopsys VCS中的仿真事件队列 (Event Queue) 2.3.2 形式化验证(Formal Verification) 从定义上说,形式化验证的目的是【从理论上证明】某些设计的实际功能完全与设计预期一致。我们可以通过哥德巴赫猜想这一个例子来对比仿真验证与形式化验证的区别。哥德巴赫猜想是任一大于2的偶数,都可以表示成2个质数之和。基...
Circuit Simulation and Synopsys Definition Circuit simulation is a process in which a model of an electronic circuit is created and analyzed using various software algorithms, which predict and verify the behavior and performance of the circuit. Since fabrication of electronic circuits, especially integra...
with wrappers using the SystemVerilog Direct Programming Interface, or DPI. The source model can be either MATLAB code or a Simulink model. These generated DPI models run natively in HDL simulators including Siemens®Questa™, Cadence®Xcelium™, Synopsys®VCS®, and Vivado®simulator fro...

Low Power Design and Synopsys Definition Low power design is a collection of techniques and methodologies aimed at reducing the overall dynamic and static power consumption of an integrated circuit (IC). Looking at the individual components of power as illustrated by the equation in Figure 1, ...
