Property-Driven Design
- We introduce Property-Driven Design, a tool-flow that guarantees formal soundness be- tween ESL and RTL and thus enables a shift-left of general functional verification by moving HW verification to higher abstraction layers. In addition, by generating a formal Verification IP (VIP) automatically from ESL descriptions, the entry hurdle to formal methods is reduced considerably, opening them to a wider audience, which effectively ‘democratizes’ them. Short feedback cycles reduce time spent on RTL verification and lead to higher-quality designs.
