商品描述

The Second Edition of Writing Testbenches, Functional Verification of HDL Models presents the latest verification techniques to produce fully functional first silicon ASICs, systems-on-a-chip (SoC), boards and entire systems.

From the Foreword:

Building on the first edition, " ...the most successful and popular contemporary verification textbook", the author raises the verification level of abstraction by introducing coverage-driven constrained random transaction-level self-checking testbenches - all made possible through the introduction of hardware verification languages (HVLs) such as e from Verisity and OpenVera from Synopsys...." Harry Foster, Chief Architect, Verplex Systems, Inc.

Topics included in the new Second Edition:
  • Discussions on OpenVera and e;
  • approaches for writing constrainable random stimulus generators;
  • strategies for making testbenches self-checking;
  • a clear blueprint of a verification process that aims for first time success;
  • recent advances in functional verification such as coverage-driven verification process;
  • VHDL and Verilog language semantics;
  • the semantics are presented in new verification-oriented languages
  • techniques for applying stimulus and monitoring the response of a design;
  • behavioral modeling using non-synthesizeable constructs and coding style;
  • updated for Verilog 2001.
