Intelligent Testbench 101
Functional verification of large SoC/ASIC designs has always been a catch-22 situation. How does the verification engineer decide that enough simulations have been run on a functional block or full chip? When has he or she thrown enough test vectors at the design to be confident that sufficient coverage has been achieved?
