Functional Verification using UVM/SystemVerilog or Specman/e
Functional Verification using UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) involves creating a standardized, reusable test environment to verify the functionality of digital designs, such as ASICs and SoCs. UVM leverages SystemVerilog and provides a framework for building robust testbenches, allowing for scalable and efficient verification processes. This methodology helps identify design errors early in the development cycle, ensuring the design behaves as intended under various scenarios and corner cases. UVM promotes modularity, reusability, and automation, making it an essential approach for verifying complex digital systems.
Testbench Architecture and Verification Environment Development
Given the size and complexity of modern ASICs/SoCs, along with their tight project schedules, it is essential to build reusable verification components and environments to enhance verification efficiency. Vertical verification reuse reduces the development time of the SoC verification environment, improves the quality of the verification code, and allows for rapid bring-up during system integration.
Coverage Driven Verification
Coverage-driven verification is an iterative process involving test generation, execution, coverage collection, and analysis. This method is employed to achieve coverage closure over several cycles. By promoting automation, coverage-driven verification provides a faster route to coverage closure compared to manual direct testing.
Assertion Based Verification
ABV is a a powerful technique in which assertions are used as the primary means of verifying the correctness of a digital design. ABV can be used at various stages of design process including design validation, module-level verification, and full-chip verification. ABV can help reduce the amount of time and effort required for verification while improving the quality and reliability of the design.
Formal Verification
Formal Verification is a powerful technique used to mathematically prove the correctness of a chip’s design. Unlike traditional simulation-based verification, which relies on test vectors and functional testing, formal methods exhaustively analyse all possible input combinations.
