HOW TO AVOID RE-SPINS IN DIGITAL ASIC/IC PROJECTS – CORRECT-BY-CONSTRUCTION WITH FORMAL

The recent Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study analyzed how verification nowadays influences the way ASIC/IC projects are managed. The numbers indicate that companies spent a majority of time and resources on IC verification. Verification Engineers spend 41% of their time debugging bugs. Half of those bugs can be classified as functional or logic flaws. 68% of the project require at least one re-spin. This doesn`t have to be the case! We, as LUBIS EDA, will show you how to avoid costly re-spins in ASIC/IC projects by using formal verification early in the process.

Does your company have:

  • Increasing costs due to longer project times.
  • Less revenue due to later Time-To-Market (TTM).

With our solution, we can ease that pain by:

  • Automatically generating a Verification IP (VIP) out of your specifications.
  • The VIP is composed of formal properties (SVA format) that cover the complete functional range, as described within the specification.
  • Use the VIP early on within the process, find functional bugs early on and save debugging / verification resources.
  • Proving the VIP means, that your design is correct-by-construction w.r.t your spec.
  • Avoid re-spins, shorten your TTM and save development costs.
Generate your VIP or more!
