Abstract

We propose a method for the pre-silicon metric driven verification and post-silicon validation of automotive Smart Power devices. The method is based on extending the UVM architecture with hardware drivers and monitors. We present the implementation of the hardware test bench components and the required software interfaces. The method is finally demonstrated by verifying a serial interface of a high-side power switch showing promising results.
