Verification Tasks
m Design Verification:
"Is what I asked for what I really want?"Ô Most common reason for chip failure. Ô Only simulation works here!
m Implementation Verification:
"Is what I asked for what I got?"Ô Improving with synthesis, formal verification.Ô Simulation-based approaches most successful today.
m Production Verification:
"Can I tell a good one from a bad one?"Ô Manufacture Test: "Can I find all the bad ones if I test them?" Ô Fault Diagnosis: "If so, can I tell why a particular chip/board is bad?"
