Real Intent

Static analysis offers a powerful way of identifying potential X-optimism problems before simulation. The article defines the issue and describes an established solution.

Bus contention and floating busses are well defined issues and therefore excellent candidates for being addressed with early-stage formal verification.

Finite State Machines are such a familiar part of design, we can forget how often they generate errors. Learn how to address them quickly and most efficiently

Traditional approaches do not catch all unknown state sources, lack capacity for big SoCs and mask bugs. Ascent XV addresses and overcomes these issues.

Complex processes and aggressive synthesis interventions are increasing the risks of metastability, creating a need for netlist-level CDC verification

A look at three techniques to verify the validity of signals moving between clock domains

Compliance with aviation’s hardware design standard is seen as a ‘tough ask’, but EDA’s own evolution has made that process easier than you may think.

Constraints are a vital part of IC design, yet the management and verification of constraints’ quality, completeness, consistency and fidelity to the designer’s intent is an evolving art.

Lint is no longer just about checking RTL code. It already incorporates functional verification within a three-stage analysis. Time to look again at a 'familiar' technology.

How Wall Street's vastly resourced IT teams already point the way to cheaper, faster and more efficient verification by putting goals not tools first.
