Engineering Design Verification

The Challenge

An Application Specific Semiconductor Product (ASSP) manufacturer was on a tight schedule for the development of a new product containing several important new features. The manufacturer was concerned that the rush to get the product to market might compromise its quality.

The Solution

As the company’s engineering team did not have the right resources to implement the verification environment for this product, they turned to Hardent’s verification experts who designed a comprehensive verification methodology based on SystemVerilog and OVM. Assertions were added on critical interfaces to trap communication problems upfront. To reduce risk and cut development time, the customer’s legacy verification IP was reused by adding OVM wrappers. Constrained-driven random stimulus generation was put in place, which allowed for the detection of special corner-case problems early in the verification cycle while reducing the number of test cases needed. Finally, functional coverage was implemented to ensure the new modules were well verified under all operating conditions.

Business Benefits for Customer

At the end of the project, the customer possessed a cost-effective, highly configurable, and easy to maintain verification environment that guaranteed a high level of quality assurance. In addition to this, the client’s verification engineers gained expertise in high-level verification methodologies and still have access to support from the Hardent team.

I’ve worked with Hardent for many years and have recommended them a few times in the past. Hardent has always been extremely successful with their clients. They have many flexible ways of working with a client and will negotiate a mutually beneficial solution.

In our case, they just log into our servers and we are in constant contact via IM, email, phone, etc., but they have all their own design tools as well, so they can work either way. Being in the same time zone makes working with them easy. I am sure you will be happy with the outcome of their work. They’ll hit the ground running much faster than a single contractor would.
