UVM-AMS based sub-system verification of wireless power receiver SoC

Mixed-signal design becomes more and more popular nowadays, designers are required to quickly integrate IPs and run through the design flow to tape out in short time, so a fast and accurate design flow will be critical to ensure the success of the project. In this paper, a UVM-based methodology for mixed-signal sub-system verification of wireless power receiver family MCU is introduced. As standard digital functional verification method, UVM co-works with analog design which greatly improves the verification efficiency and quality. The model-based verification approach also helps build a scalable and re-usable framework, in which coverage driven verification (CDV) is achieved with automatic stimulus generation, analog assertions are also used to monitor and verify mixed-signal system behavior automatically.
