This paper discusses possibilities for a choice of a pseudorandom pattern generator that is to be used in combination with the column-matching based built-in self-test design meth...
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...
Functional verification is widely acknowledged as the bottleneck in the hardware design cycle. This paper addresses one of the main challenges of simulation based verification (or...
