Creating Assertion-Based IP Paperback / softback
by Harry D. Foster, Adam C. Krolnik
Part of the Integrated Circuits and Systems series
Paperback / softback
Description
Assertion-based IP is much more than a comprehensive set of related assertions.
It is a full-fledged reusable and configurable transaction-level verification component, which is used to detect both interesting and incorrect behaviors.
Upon detecting interesting or incorrect behavior, the assertion-based IP alerts other verification components within a simulation environment, which are responsible for taking appropriate action.
The focus of this book is to bring the assertion discussion up to a higher level and introduce a process for creating effective, reusable, assertion-based IP, which easily integrates with the user’s existing verification environment, in other words the testbench infrastructure. The guiding principles promoted in this book when creating an assertion-based IP monitor are: modularity—assertion-based IP should have a clear separation between detection and actionclarity—assertion-based IP should be written initially focusing on capturing intent (versus optimizations) A unique feature of this book is the fully worked out, detailed examples.
The concepts presented in the book are drawn from the authors’ experience developing assertion-based IP, as well as general assertion-based techniques.
Creating Assertion-Based IP is an important resource for design and verification engineers. From the Foreword:Creating Assertion-Based IP "…reduces to process the creation of one of the most valuable kinds of VIP: assertion-based VIP…This book will serve as a valuable reference for years to come."Andrew Piziali, Sr.
