What Is The Need For Perl Scripting In VLSI?
Every programming-based job has some repetitive work that takes a significant amount of time, yet it does not provide any new learning. These tasks might include updating a spreadsheet, executing test cases, reviewing test logs, upgrading the environment for common changes, and so on. Unfortunately, many people wind up devoting a significant amount of time […]
What is the Role of Formal Verification in VLSI?
ASIC project life cycle stages like front-end verification, logic synthesis, post routing checks, and ECOs all employ formal verification. However, the formal verification in vlsi used to check RTLs is quite different from other types of formal verification. In contrast to dynamic verification methods like simulation, formal verification refers to a group of approaches that […]
Interesting Uses of Python, TCL and Perl
Dynamic languages are renowned for rapid application prototyping or for “duct tape” solutions to connect systems. Most people think that conventional languages, like Java or C/C#, will be operating behind the scenes. when it’s time to go to full-scale production, You might be shocked by how frequently dynamic languages are used in large-scale applications. Dynamic […]
Why is UVM Verification Critical for Success in Chip Design?
UVM stands for Universal Verification Methodology. It is a standardized methodology for verifying integrated circuits, ASICs, and SoC architectures. It is majorly based on the Open Verification Methodology (OVM). What is UVM and why is it important? UVM is a Standard Verification Methodology that uses SystemVerilog structures to provide a fully complete testbench to ensure […]
Scripting language Vs Programming language
Recent advancements in the field of programming have blurred the boundary between them. Many individuals are oblivious to the distinctions between scripting and programming languages and use the phrases interchangeably. They may sound similar, yet they are quite different. Anyone interested in entering the field of software development should understand the distinctions between scripting languages […]
What is VLSI?
The method of merging millions of MOSFET together onto a single chip is known as very large-scale integration (VLSI). VLSI got its start in the 1970s, when MOS integrated circuit (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) chips became extensively used, allowing for the development of complicated semiconductor and communications technologies. VLSI devices are used in the memory chips […]
SV Verification Guide: The Ultimate Knowledge on SV Verification
Because hardware designs are becoming increasingly complicated, the old technique of manually writing tests to validate the designs, i.e. the Directed Test approach, is becoming increasingly difficult to implement and maintain for larger and more sophisticated systems. There are some corner scenarios that are either impossible to anticipate, code test for, or are overlooked during […]
Verification and Validation in VLSI
State of the art SOC designs is so complex that, coming up with a bug-free design is very difficult. So chip design flow incorporates several steps to identify the bugs in the earlier stages as well as, in the later stages. Verification and Validation, both probe for the correctness of the design against the specification by […]
What is Polymorphism in System Verilog?
Polymorphism is an object-oriented programming language feature that allows a specific routine to use variables of different types at different times. Polymorphism in SystemVerilog is the ability for the same code to behave differently depending on the kind of Object with which it is dealing. This is a fundamental concept in every Object Oriented Programming […]
Job Prospects in ASIC Design Verification
One of the main fields in VLSI is VLSI Design Verification. Like many other fields in VLSI, this too requires technical and practical knowledge on various subject matters. VLSI provides a wide arena for career growth and opportunities as a Design Verification Engineer. What is VLSI Design Verification In simple terms, it deals with matching […]
