YOGITECH offering Mixed-Signal Verification
Kit
San Francisco -Italian system-on-chip (SoC) design and verification
provider YOGITECH Thursday (Sept. 29) introduced an integrated,
automated verification component kit that the company claims that
goes beyond the limits of traditional mixed-signal verification
solutions to drastically reduce verification time and increase quality.
In the standard approach to verification of mixed-signal circuits,
environments and methodologies are separated for analogue and digital
parts with a lack of control on the process and strong efforts for
repetitive jobs, Yogitech said. The mixed-signal verification kit
goes beyond these limits, extending the most advanced techniques
for functional dynamic verification to analogue circuits, the company
said.
YyOGITECH (Pisa, Italy) said the kit is offers easy configuration
and a set of components to drive, monitor and elaborate current
and voltage signals together with a relevant set of coverage items.
The kit works with both Spice-level description and high-level modeled
DUT and with all Specman Elite's supported mixed-signal simulators,
the company said, and can be used to verify mixed-signal circuits
or fully analogue cells, both at module and top level.
"Working with our clients throughout the years we realized
the limits and the problems they have to bear with verification
of mixed-signal circuits," said Silvano Motto,
YOGITECH CEO, in a statement.
