Our goal is to share in-depth knowledge of VLSI design and Verification to bridge the gap between students and industries. We provide well-structured easy to understand lessons along with one-click …

The UVM API (Application Programming Interface) provides standardization for integration, creation of verification components. The API also scales from block-level to system-level verification environment.

Verilog is a hardware description language (HDL) that describes the functionality of hardware design and the synthesis tool converts hardware descriptions into an actual design that has combinational …

The verification plan includes a test plan (list of test cases that target design features), functional coverage planning, module/block assignments to the verification engineers, checker, and assertion …

Let’s understand how the register model is constructed, integrate it with the verification environment, and access the DUT register using read and write methods.

To check the functional correctness of the design, testbench is written. The verification process allows verification engineers in finding bugs, checking for RTL correctness based on the design specification.

It is a hardware description and hardware verification language used to model, design, simulate testbench. SystemVerilog is based on Verilog and some extensions.

UVM Class Hierarchy describes various UVM classes and its utilazation in the testbench envioronment.

It is simply used to identify uncovered lines, expressions, state transitions, dead code, etc. in the design. Hence, it does not indicate design quality. Verification engineers aim to achieve 100% code …

The Verification Components Layer serves as an abstraction that encapsulates the behavior of the Design Under Test (DUT) while focusing on verifying the functionality of the design using various …
