Using word-level ATPG and modular arithmetic constraint-solving techniques for assertion property checking.

Using word-level ATPG and modular arithmetic constraint-solving techniques for assertion property checking.

We present a new approach to checking assertion properties for register-transfer level (RTL) design verification. Our approach combines structural word-level automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) and modular arithmetic constraint-solving techniques to solve the constraints imposed by the target a...
