Logic Equivalence Check, popularly known as LEC is one of the most important parts of the ASIC VLSI design. Formal verification techniques have been developed using mathematical proof rather than ...

Designing a chip is a complex process. It starts with defining the architectural requirements, then microarchitecture development, followed by RTL design and functional verification. Then the design ...

Three methods for testing functional equivalence are currently available to designers — conventional simulation, cone-based equivalence checking, and symbolic simulation. Most designers are familiar ...

IO libraries and interface IPs are an important part of any integrated circuit design that needs to communicate with the outside world or other integrated circuits. Interface IPs are the literal ...
