Latest Patents
Greg N Fife holds a patent titled "System and method for model size reduction of an integrated circuit." This invention provides a system and method for verifying an integrated circuit model that includes a plurality of net variables. The process involves generating tests for simulating the integrated circuit, precalculating a reduced model based on these tests, and evaluating the reduced model. The invention restricts the generated tests and translates them into a smaller set of possible values for the net variables. A minimization algorithm is then utilized to reduce the logic used in the system based on latch constraints. This innovative system significantly increases simulation speed and reduces the amount of the integrated circuit that must be simulated, thereby enhancing the verification process.
