- Abstract
- As the design complexity and the number of gates per pin are increasing rapidly, functional verification has become a critical step in the development of a System-on-Chip (SoC). Traditional verification techniques, such as simulation or emulation, cannot satisfy the debugging requirement and simulation speed. Among various verification technologies, Pattern-Based emulation provides the most efficient execution speed, but has limited observability due to the limit on the number of available pins and memory size. In addition, it takes a long time to dump patterns into memory. We propose an efficient Pattern-Based emulation approach that combines a cycle-based simulation, an input pattern reduction method based on coverage result, and an automatic pattern comparing scheme. © 2005 IEEE.
