You don’t usually think of simulating Verilog code — usually for an FPGA — as a visual process. You write a test script colloquially known as a test bench and run your simulation. You might get some ...

Sometimes good ideas take a while to catch on in engineering practice. The use of in-line assertions to document assumptions and check for problems in RTL code is one such idea. Long ago proposed for ...

Driven by the need to objectively measure the progress of their verification efforts and the contributions of different verification techniques, IC designers have adopted coverage as a metric. However ...

Learn how a free tool lets you build and test digital circuits on your computer and see how chips really work before making ...

A key part of any analogue design flow is having models of the components for simulation. Traditional Spice models of basic components such as transistors and capacitors written in C or C++ are ...
