Design Verification

Coverage-driven verification that gives you first-pass silicon confidence — from IP-level UVM environments to SoC-level software-driven tests, formal proofs and emulation.

Verification Strategy

Our verification team defines the right strategy based on the scope — IP, subsystem or SoC — and the reuse expected from legacy code, third-party verification IP and existing testbenches. We produce a verification plan that maps every feature to tests, coverage points and assertions, so closure is measurable from day one.

Feature extraction

Spec-to-vPlan traceability with prioritised risk areas.

Reuse planning

Vertical reuse from IP to SoC; VIP and legacy environment integration.

Metrics definition

Code, functional and assertion coverage goals plus exit criteria.

Regression & CI

Nightly regressions, triage dashboards and automated reporting.

UVM Testbenches & Coverage Closure

We are proficient in coverage-driven verification using UVM at IP level. At SoC level we bring up C-based flows alongside reuse of IP-level testbenches, and we follow code coverage, functional coverage and assertion metrics throughout. Our environments are layered, reusable and documented so your team can own them after hand-off.

What we deliver

  • UVM agents, sequences, scoreboards and reference models
  • Constrained-random stimulus with functional coverage models
  • SoC-level C/assembly tests and use-case / stress scenarios
  • Coverage analysis, hole closure and waiver documentation
  • Regression infrastructure and failure triage
  • Verification sign-off reports
03

Formal Verification & Assertions

For control-dominated logic, arbiters, FSMs and protocol interfaces we complement simulation with formal property checking. SystemVerilog assertions are developed once and reused across simulation, formal and emulation.

Property checking

End-to-end proofs with JasperGold or VC Formal.

Formal apps

Connectivity, register, X-propagation and unreachability analysis.

SVA libraries

Protocol checkers for AMBA and custom interfaces.

Sequential equivalence

Verify RTL optimisations and clock-gating changes formally.

04

Gate-Level & Power-Aware Simulation

Our team has strong experience with power-aware (UPF) simulations, developing use-case and stress tests, and AMS co-simulation. For netlist simulations we bring up GLS testbenches with zero/unit-delay or SDF back-annotated simulations on targeted corners — and port tests for test-vector generation to improve coverage on silicon.

  • UPF-aware simulation and low-power scenario tests
  • Zero-delay and SDF gate-level simulation on signoff corners
  • X-propagation and reset-sequence verification
  • Functional pattern conversion for ATE
05

Emulation & FPGA Prototyping

For SoC-level software bring-up and long-running use cases we port designs and testbenches to emulation platforms and FPGA prototypes, enabling pre-silicon firmware and driver development.
