Its use results in faster development, cleaner testbenches, and a modern software-oriented approach to validating FPGA and ASIC designs without replacing your existing simulator.

You don’t usually think of simulating Verilog code — usually for an FPGA — as a visual process. You write a test script colloquially known as a test bench and run your simulation. You might get some ...

[Clifford] presented a fully open-source toolchain for programming FPGAs. If you don’t think that this is an impressive piece of work, you don’t really understand FPGAs. The toolchain, or “flow” as ...

HDL Coder generates target independent, synthesizable Verilog and VHDL code from MATLAB functions, Simulink models, and Stateflow charts. The generated HDL code is bit-true and cycle-accurate to ...

Verification takes as much as 70% of an ASIC's development time and resources. With growing ASIC complexity, verification problems are growing exponentially. Given the high cost of ASIC mask sets, the ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Plans for the next generation of Verilog are unfolding at this week's EDA Front-to-Back Conference, as the Accellera standards organization announces the initial completion of a ...

Verifying a complex FPGA design under DO-254 guidelines for use in safety- and mission-critical airborne systems is not without its challenges. Louie De Luna, Aldec Europe’s Product Manager for DO-254 ...
