SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — In theory, static timing analysis and formal verification should render gate-level simulation unnecessary. But in reality, it's unavoidable, according to a number of engineers who ...

In recent years, formal verification has become the verification methodology of choice for many designers and verification engineers. It's now in the mainstream marketplace, as it's easy to use, ...

Reducing simulation debugging time, the compiled-code Verilogger Extreme Verilog 2001 simulator provides fast simulation of RTL and gate-level simulations using SDF (Synopsys Delay Format) timing ...

Figure 1. (click to enlarge) Part-level flow simulation. The diversity and complexity of medical devices are likely to increase with time, as will the associated design risks and manufacturing ...
