Biographie:
Ashok Mehta has been working in the ASIC/SoC design and verification field for over 20 years. He started his career at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) working as a CPU design engineer. He then worked at Data General, Intel (first Pentium Architecture Verification team) and after a route of couple of startups, worked at Applied Micro and currently at TSMC. He was a very early adopter of Verilog and participated in Verilog, VHDL, iHDL (Intel HDL) and SDF (standard delay format) technical subcommittees. He has also been a proponent of ESL (Electronic System Level) designs. At TSMC he architected and went into production with two industry standard TSMC ESL Reference Flows that take designs from ESL to RTL while preserving the verification environment for reuse from ESL to RTL. He holds 14 U.S. Patents in the field of SoC and 3DIC design verification. He is also the author of Second Edition of the book SystemVerilog Assertions and FunctionalCoverage - A comprehensive guide to languages, methodologies and applications. Springer (June 2016). Ashok earned an MSEE from University of Missouri. In his spare time, he is an amateur photographer and likes to play drums on 70's rock music driving his neighbors up the wall J...

Sommaire:
This book provides a hands-on, application-oriented guide to the language and methodology of both SystemVerilog Assertions and SytemVerilog Functional Coverage.? Readers will benefit from the step-by-step approach to functional hardware verification, which will enable them to uncover hidden and hard to find bugs, point directly to the source of the bug, provide for a clean and easy way to model complex timing checks and objectively answer the question 'have we functionally verified everything'.? Written by a professional end-user of both SystemVerilog Assertions and SystemVerilog Functional Coverage, this book explains each concept with easy to understand examples, simulation logs and applications derived from real projects.? Readers will be empowered to tackle the modeling of complex checkers for functional verification, thereby drastically reducing their time to design and debug....
