Companies and developers want their chips to work the first time they are created, but this means that their design and verification must be done first. Simulation and verification tools that check everything from timing to thermals make this possible. However, many myths and misunderstandings exist about the tools, their capabilities, and their operation.

This ebook is patterned after our famous 11 Myths Series that is one of many presentation styles we use regularly. This time around we have collected together four related to chip design and verification that debunk a few of these myths. This is useful because many engineers and developers sometime misinterpret or misunderstand a number of the details about the verification process. Knowing these will help engineers ask more questions and get more answers so that they can readily employ these often complex verification tools.
