This paper describes an efficient error simulator able to analyze functional VHDL descriptions. The proposed simulation environment can be based on commercial VHDL simulators. Al...
We examine delay models used in VLSI circuit testing. Our study includes electrical-level simulation experiments with HSPICE. We show phenomena which signicantly aect the actual...
Design simplification is becoming necessary to respect the target time-to-market of SoCs, and this goal can be obtained by using predesigned IP-cores. However, their correct inte...
An evolutionary algorithm is used to design a finite impulse response digital filter with reduced power consumption. The proposed design approach combines genetic optimization an...
— Software simulation remains the most used method for VHDL RTL functional verification. The functional verification process essentially consists of two parts. The first one is t...
