SoC-Oriented Transaction-Based Verification Methodology

With the fast development of IC,the availability of millions of transistors on a single chip has allowed the creation of more complex on-chip systems.The functional verification of such systems has become a challenge.The traditional verification methodology turns into a bottleneck of SoC's design,but transaction-based verification(TBV) methodology is more and more effective.Introduces the basic conception of transaction-based verification,and then shows the TBV's flow and design about SoC.The debugging process and the measurement of functional coverage are analyzed in detail for TBV.Finally compares traditional verification methodology with TBV,and presents TBV's advantages.
