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 ...

The electronics industry is constantly challenged by the ever-growing design and verification requirements for complex chips. With the IEEE-Std 1800-2005 System-Verilog standard, the industry has a ...

SystemVerilog is the natural evolution of the Verilog language, extending its capabilities for both design and verification. Demand for this advanced language is clear. Over a dozen EDA companies ...

It is well documented and widely agreed that assertions can provide a tremendous benefit to design and verification teams by reducing and even eliminating debug – but their use is still not ubiquitous ...
