Course Description
In this course, you learn to use the Conformal Equivalence Checker to perform functional verification. You learn the basic flow of equivalence checking and how to run hierarchical comparisons of designs. The lab exercises follow major topics and are designed to be directly applicable to design and design verification. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to set up and verify your designs, analyze the results, and debug failing results.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Use Conformal logic equivalence checking for flat and hierarchical design comparison
- Read libraries and designs
- Apply design constraints and modeling directives
- Apply the mapping process and debug unmapped key points
