Observability and Controllability are the terms that are frequently used for system validation. To validate a design, you must zero down all the existing functional bugs. Now, how to remove a bug from your design? For this, you need to…

What is Post-Silicon Validation
Modern day Syetem-on-Chips are so complex that pre-silicon verification is no more the sufficient step to capture all the design bugs. Even with sophisticated verification process, achieving 100% coverage is difficult. Due to this, few bugs escape from the pre-silicon…
Pre-Silicon Verification vs. Post-Silicon Validation
Both Verification and Validation checks for the correctness of the design. These design steps try to detect and localize functional bugs in the system. While pre-silicon verification runs the test cases on the software prototypes of the design on the…
