Abstract
The present disclosure provides a satisfiability modulo theory (SMT) modeling system that includes graphical representation circuitry to generate graphical data representing a circuit design; finite state machine (FSM) discovery circuitry to discover, based on a feedback loop of the circuit design, an FSM contained within the graphical data; SMT assertion generation circuitry to generate an SMT assertion set of the FSM, based on the combinatorial and/or sequential logic elements associated with the FSM; and SMT modeling circuitry to determine a behavior of the FSM by applying one or more logical functions to the SMT assertion set.
