End-to-end automation is the next leap forward for DFT

May 15, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas

DFT

by Jay Jahangiri, Product Manager for Mentor, a Siemens Business, Tessent product family The increase in IC design size and complexity adds a number of new challenges to the design flow, including design-for-test (DFT). One of the most successful changes in design-for-test (DFT) flows in recent years has been the deployment of hierarchical DFT. For […]

The ABCs of functional verification techniques

January 31, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas

By Aijaz Fatima of Mentor, a Siemens business Functional verification is the process of demonstrating the functional correctness of a design with respect to the design specifications. Functional verification does not confirm the correctness of the design specification and assumes that the design specification is correct. It is one of the most challenging steps of […]

How to create and run reusable register-test models

March 11, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas

by Matthew Ballance, Mentor, a Siemens Business Register tests are a very useful smoke test at all design levels — from IP to subsystem to SoC. While the built-in register-test sequences in the UVM library are useful at the IP level, capturing register-test intent in a PSS model makes register-test functionality portable from the IP […]
