            Abstract : 
The new level of integration achieved by the latest generation of automotive power chips pushes the pre-silicon verification challenges a step further. To cope with these challenges, the proven mixed-signal verification methodologies which have hitherto been used successfully have to be extended. The paper introduces newly applied approaches along with verification simulation results of the latest automotive power circuit generation.
