System Verilog Assertions Simplified - Design And Reuse
Assertion is a very powerful feature of System Verilog HVL (Hardware Verification Language). Nowadays it is widely adopted and used in most of the design verification projects. This article explains the concurrent assertions syntaxes, simple examples of their usage and details of passing and failing scenarios along with waveform snippets for the ease of understanding.
Understanding Logic Equivalence Check (LEC) Flow and Its …
Formal verification techniques have been developed using mathematical proof rather than simulation or test vectors to provide a higher level of verification confidence on properties. For example, the implementation can be either a Verilog RTL module or an abstract version of a particular design, while the specification is typically a set of properties that needs to be verified and expressed ...

TSMC drives A16, 3D process technology
TSMC is looking to introduce its A16 1.6nm process by the end of 2026 with an IEEE standard for its 3Dblox technology. The Open Innovation Platform (OIP) meeting in the Netherlands this week showed that the 2nm process will be in production in 2025 following early tapeouts this year, with a …
BCD Technology: A Unified Approach to Analog ... - Design And …
Since its inception, BCD technology has leveraged the integration of two primary technologies—polysilicon gate CMOS and DMOS power architecture—on the same chip. Its compatibility with bipolar components has enabled the creation of SoCs (System-on-Chip) that combine digital and analog control with efficient power management sections.
System Verilog Macro: A Powerful Feature for Design Verification …
SV macro is one of the most powerful features out there and if used properly with a thorough understanding and applied wisely in a DV project, it can help to save a lot of time and can make the code more readable and efficient. This paper shows how, using SV macro with the proper syntaxes, a DV engineer can break up the larger complex code in smaller chunk and can reuse it at many places.
