Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
System, method, and computer program product for improving coverage accuracy in formal verification

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a method for electronic design verification. Embodiments may include receiving, using at least one processor, an electronic design and automatically identifying one or more code coverage points from a netlist of an original model associated with the electronic design. Embodiments may include receiving a property and one or more elements, each of the one or more elements corresponding to one of the one or more code coverage points. Embodiments may further include performing model checking based upon, at least in part, the property and the one or more elements. Embodiments may also include verifying the property and generating an unsatisfiability core based upon, at least in part, the one or more elements.
