基于TotalRecall技术ASIC的FPGA原型验证

摘要

Verification is a very important part in IG design. With the rapid development of FPGA, the FPGA prototype verification has been used widely in the ASIC. FPGA prototyping verification is an effective verification way of ASIC, but the visibility of traditional FPGA prototyping verification is poor. In order to solve the visibility problem of traditional FPGA prototyping verification, verification engineer uses a combination of TotalRecall technology FPGA prototyping verification method to verify a mouse chip. The result shows this method provides complete visibility and ensures FPGA prototyping verification at the real speed. This method has innovated ASIC verification methodology.%芯片设计中一个非常重要的环节是验证.随着FPGA技术的迅速发展使基于FPGA的原型验证被广泛的用于ASIC的开发过程,FPGA原型验证是ASIC有效的验证途径,但传统FPGA原型验证的可视性非常差.为了解决传统FPGA原型验证可视性的问题,验证工程师采用了结合TotalRecall技术的FPGA原型验证方法对一款鼠标芯片进行验证.获得该方法不仅能提供100％的可视性,还确保FPGA原型验证以实时硬件速度运行.该方法创新了ASIC的验证方法学.
