Using sequential equivalence to verify clock-gating strategies

Sequential equivalence checking can be used to show that a block of sequential logic produces the same output for the same inputs after it has been modified by optimization techniques such as clock gating or register re-timing.

Clock-domain and reset verification in the low-power design era

The multiple clock domains on today's SoCs create a hotbed for clock-domain crossing bugs to thrive. Low-power design techniques increase the complexity of tracking these bugs down. Find out how these failures arise and what to do about them.
