Riassunto

Thisbook provides a hands-on, application-oriented guide to the language andmethodology of both SystemVerilog Assertions and SystemVerilog FunctionalCoverage. Readers will benefit from the step-by-step approach to functionalhardware verification using SystemVerilog Assertions and Functional Coverage,which will enable them to uncover hidden and hard to find bugs, point directlyto the source of the bug, provide for a clean and easy way to model complextiming checks and objectively answer the question ‘have we functionallyverified everything’. Written by a professional end-user of ASIC/SoC/CPU andFPGA design and Verification, this book explains each concept with easy tounderstand examples, simulation logs and applications derived from realprojects. Readers will be empowered to tackle the modeling of complex checkersfor functional verification, thereby drastically reducing their time to designand debug. 

This updated second edition addresses the latest functional set releasedin IEEE-1800 (2012) LRM, including numerous additional operators and features.Additionally, many of the Concurrent Assertions/Operators explanations areenhanced, with the addition of more examples and figures.

·         Covers in its entirety the latest IEEE-1800 2012 LRM syntax and semantics;

·         Covers both SystemVerilog Assertions and SystemVerilog Functional Coverage language and methodologies;

·         Provides practical examples of the what, how and why of Assertion Based Verification and Functional Coverage methodologies;

·         Explains each concept in a step-by-step fashion and applies it to a practical real life example;

·         Includes 6 practical LABs that enable readers to put in practice the concepts explained in the book.

Informazioni sull?autore

Ashok Mehta has been working in the ASIC/SoC design and verificationfield for over 20 years. He started his career at Digital Equipment Corporation(DEC) working first as a CPU design engineer, moving on to hardware design verificationof the VAX11-785 CPU design. He then worked at Data General, Intel (firstPentium design team) and after a route of a couple of startups, worked atApplied Micro and TSMC. He was a very early adopter of Verilog and participatedin Verilog, VHDL, iHDL (Intel HDL) and SDF (standard delay format) technical subcommittees.He has also been a proponent of ESL (Electronic System Level) designs and atTSMC he released two industry standard Reference Flows that take designs fromESL to RTL while preserving the verification environment for reuse from ESL toRTL. Lately, he has been involved with 3DIC design verification challenges atTSMC which is where SystemVerilog Assertions played an instrumental role instacked die SoC design verification.

Ashok earned an MSEE from Universityof Missouri. He holds 13 U.S. Patents in the field of SoC and 3DIC designverification.
