Description

The application of assertion techniques and the related languages have been continuously updated and developed. As assertion languages are designed to express complex behaviors, the ongoing development of assertion techniques allows us to better utilize assertions as an important verification method. SVA provides many structures and operators that are not commonly used. These powerful structures can describe complex sequences. However, not all property structures or operators are useful. It is important to compare the advantages and disadvantages of these new structures or operators with traditional sequence descriptions to decide whether to use them. Assertion Based Verification provides an effective way to improve quality of verification by providing better controllability and observability of design errors. ABV is enabled with specification of assertions in the design. Assertions are executable specification of the design and are mostly written as 'assert' properties used to check the design functionality and 'cover' properties primarily used for functional coverage. Assertion can be verified using different ABV technologies: Formal, Simulation and Emulation/Acceleration. Our ...
