In the IC design flow, design-for-test is often an afterthought. First, the design is coded, then simulated, then synthesized, and only after all that – usually months into the design cycle – it's ...

System architects working on system-on-chip (SoC) designs are hampered by the dearth of reliable ways to evaluate an architecture or verify hardware and software together. Fortunately, SystemC, an ...

How to address the critical challenge RTL designers face: identifying testability issues late in the design cycle, leading to costly re-spins and schedule delays. This white paper demonstrates how ...
