Consistency Testing of IP in Mixed-Signal SoC

Based on the discussion on the consistency description method used for SoC design, the testing method about the operation consistency of IP (Intellectual Property) blocks is addressed in this paper. The method proposed the guidance for designing the test vectors in mixed signal SoC design. With the method, logical description of operation consistency specification can be built in SoC design. This paper indicates that operation consistency design is a key point and will impact both architecture of hardware and software.
