ASIC & FPGA Verification: A Guide to Component Modeling
This book provides not only an excellent reference for those who write component models for board level verification, but also a much needed introduction to SDF and VITAL for timing simulation.
Features
Provides numerous models and a clearly defined methodology for performing board-level simulation.
Covers the details of
modeling for verification of both logic and timing.
First book to collect and teach techniques for using VHDL to model "off-the-shelf" or "IP" digital components for use in FPGA and board-level design verification
