Designing a chip is a complex process. It starts with defining the architectural requirements, then microarchitecture development, followed by RTL design and functional verification. Then the design ...

Logic Equivalence Check, popularly known as LEC is one of the most important parts of the ASIC VLSI design. Formal verification techniques have been developed using mathematical proof rather than ...

The VLSI design cycle is partitioned into two phases i.e. front-end and back-end phases of the complete SoC design cycle. While at front-end, most of the architectural specifications, coding and ...

Three methods for testing functional equivalence are currently available to designers — conventional simulation, cone-based equivalence checking, and symbolic simulation. Most designers are familiar ...

IO libraries and interface IPs are an important part of any integrated circuit design that needs to communicate with the outside world or other integrated circuits. Interface IPs are the literal ...
