Electronic system level (ESL) synthesis has a big impact in design. It may have an even bigger impact on the choice of environments for verification and validation. Software simulation remains the ...

This paper describes the process and tools used in the verification of a family of Secure Digital (SD) IP cores. The verification process described included SystemC verification, RTL simulation and ...

R>epresenting a multifunction verification platform that provides both simulation acceleration and in-circuit emulation capabilities, the Palladium ASIC design ...

As a result, hardware emulation has taken center stage, replacing the beloved RTL simulator, a place it owned for about three decades. Mind you, I am not proclaiming the demise of the RTL simulator.

Many people are predicting that assertions will be the next big breakthrough to enable engineers to continue to design and verify larger and more complex designs. Assertion-based methodologies bring ...

In this article, we will discuss how to maximize the value from the use of emulation systems on SoC development projects. What has changed in emulation usage models For many years, the principal ...
