RISC-V is a general-purpose license-free open Instruction Set Architecture [ISA] with multiple extensions. It is an ISA separated into a small base integer ISA, usable as a base for customized ...

When we talk about the signoff of digital IP, we are referring to the full verification of a block. Every feature listed in a device’s datasheet requires verification. Furthermore, every register ...

It is well known that the task of verification looms large in the design of digital IP, as well as the design of SoCs. The target is to reach 100% for both RTL code and functional coverage, minimizing ...

As today’s SoC designs grow more complex and time-to-market (TTM) pressures rise, designers are looking for techniques to build and update designs easily. Key elements for addressing these SoC ...

It’s time to put to rest 11 of the most common myths about verification intellectual property (VIP). SmartDV’s Bipul Talukdar, Director of Applications Engineering, explains why it’s used in a ...

Intellectual property (IP) designers play a crucial role by creating reusable components that form the building blocks of larger integrated circuit (IC) designs. These components, whether developed in ...

A well planned verification flow for a mixed-signal IP is required to achieve the highest quality of the IP performance with the expected design specifications. The aim of this paper is to present a ...
