This book looks at the problem of design verification with a view towards speeding up the process of verification by developing methods that apply to levels of abstraction above RTL or synchronous logic descriptions. Typically such descriptions capture design functionality at the system level, hence the topic area is also referred to as system level verification. Since such descriptions can also capture software, especially device drivers or other embedded software, this book will be of interest to both hardware and software designers. � The methodology presented in this book relies upon advances in synthesis techniques, as well as on incremental refinement of the design process. These refinements can be done manually or through elaboration tools. This book discusses verification of specific properties in designs written using high-level languages, as well as checking that the refined implementations are equivalent to their high-level specifications. The novelty of each of these techniques is that they use a combination of formal techniques to do scalable verification of system designs completely automatically. The verification techniques presented in this book include methods for verifying properties of high-level designs and methods for verifying that the translation from high-level design to a low-level Register Transfer Language (RTL) design preserves semantics. Used together, these techniques guarantee that properties verified in the high-level design are preserved through the translation to low-level RTL. Offers industry practitioners already involved with high-level synthesis an invaluable reference to high-level verification; Uses a combination of formal techniques to do scalable verification of system designs completely automatically; Presents techniques that guarantee properties verified in the high-level design are preserved through the translation to low-level RTL; Written by researchers working in mainstream hardware and software design and includes results from both academia and industry � � �.

This book explores various dimensions of EDA technologies for achieving different goals in VLSI system design. Although the scope of EDA is very broad and comprises diversified hardware and software tools to accomplish different phases of VLSI system design, such as design, layout, simulation, testability, prototyping and implementation, this book focuses only on demystifying the code, a.k.a. firmware development and its implementation with FPGAs. Since there are a variety of languages for system design, this book covers various issues related to VHDL, Verilog and System C synergized with EDA tools, using a variety of case studies such as testability, verification and power consumption. * Covers aspects of VHDL, Verilog and Handel C in one text; * Enables designers to judge the appropriateness of each EDA tool for relevant applications; * Omits discussion of design platforms and focuses on design case studies; * Uses design case studies from diversified application domains such as network on chip, hospital on chip, analog to digital conversion and embedded system design; * Facilitates with code and tool flows the design cycle for systems on chip with increasing complexity; * Demonstrates standard development cycles, making use of latest concepts such as ‘Soft IP Cores’, ‘Hardware Software Codesign’ etc.

Low Power Design Essentials is the first book at the graduate level to address the design of low power digital integrated circuits in an orderly and logical fashion. As such, this book will be of interest to students as well as professionals. In addition to taking an educational approach towards low-power design, the book also presents an integrated methodology to address power at all layers of the design hierarchy. Finally, the text also explains the main roadblocks as well as the physical limits in further energy scaling. This book is based on the extensive amount of teaching the author has carried out both at universities and companies worldwide. All chapters have been drawn up specifically for self-study. Different levels of understanding are included within each chapter. All chapters begin with elementary material and almost all contain advanced material. A unique format is used for this book. Rather than the traditional approach of a lengthy continuous text interspersed with some figures, it uses the reverse approach of dominant graphics with accompanying supplemental text. It is understood that a single figure does a lot more to convey a message than a page of text. It is hoped that this innovative format provides a better structure for learning the essential topics in low power design. About the Author Jan Rabaey received his Ph.D degree in Applied Sciences from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. From 1983-1985, he was connected to the UC Berkeley as a Visiting Research Engineer. From 1985-1987, he was a research manager at IMEC, Belgium, and in 1987, he joined the faculty of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department of the University of California, Berkeley, where he is now holds the Donald O. Pederson Distinguished Professorship. He is currently the scientific co-director of the Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC), as well as the director of the FCRP-sponsored GigaScale Systems Research Center (GSRC). He is an IEEE Fellow.
