Abstract :
The paper addresses today´s mixed signal and SoC design flow and methodology issues, and discusses the requirements for a successful design flow and methodology from the industry point of view. The importance of a strong collaboration between IP owner and customer, maximum re-use, and top level verification (TLV) is discussed in detail. An example is given to emphasize the importance of using behavioral models during TLV to reduce simulation time in large designs.
