Learn how using formal verification can take you beyond the limitations of directed-random simulation when debugging silicon. A series of case studies provide real-world usage examples of Jasper ...

This article is about our experience in applying formal verification techniques to an ASIC design in a large communication system. When we, in the Alcatel-Lucent IC design group in Nürnberg, Germany, ...

Using the right methodology for applying and using products within a design project is critical to getting a high return on investment (ROI). This is especially true in emerging areas such as formal ...

The most effective functional verification environments employ multiple analysis technologies, where the strengths of each are combined to reinforce each other to help ensure that the device under ...

How formal verification is able to find bugs before signoff. Formal verification’s ability to mathematically prove exhaustively that a chip design meets a set of assertions. Formal techniques are ...

“Signoff” may be the most exciting—and frightening—word in semiconductor development. After many months, or even years of team effort, committing a design to silicon fabrication is indeed an exciting ...
