Simplifying SystemVerilog Functional Coverage

Let’s say you have a block you need to verify. How do you know that the stimulus you are about to use is exhaustive enough and that you have covered the necessary scenarios/situations to prove it is ...

How to raise the RTL abstraction level and design conciseness with SystemVerilog – Part 2

As discussed in Part 1, this article proposes four steps to raise the abstraction level of current Verilog HDL designs and provide a phase wise approach to migrate to SystemVerilog. In Part 1 we ...
