While often used intermixed, verification and validation are quite different procedures with different goals and different means to achieve those goals. No better way to clear up the confusion by ...

Verification and validation are two important steps in the creations of electronic systems and over time their roles, but how they play together is changing. In fact, today we are seeing a major ...

With any semiconductor device, presilicon design verification and postsilicon validation are critical to the functional and operational quality of the finished product. This situation holds especially ...

A key focus of the IC design industry is to deliver first-pass silicon, which means finding most, if not all, of the potential defects before tape-out. This is extremely difficult due to increasing ...

This paper briefly discusses the approaches for Validation Environment and Test methodologies adopted for 8-bit microcontroller family based products. We would be focusing on modularity and the need ...
