Functional Equivalence Checking
Comprehensive Equivalence Checking for the Largest, Most Complex SoC Designs

Overview
Synopsys offers several tools to address the need for equivalence checking of your large complex SoCs, all type of memories, full custom logic and I/Os. With unique and patented technologies, including Hier-IQ technology and symbolic techniques, users obtain the most comprehensive equivalence coverage available.

Functional Equivalence Checking

Key Benefits
  • Minimize tape-out risk by providing complete verification coverage.
  • Easy to use solutions shorten time-to-results of multi-million gate designs
  • Verifies entire SOC, including logic, datapath, custom macro, memory and I/Os

Design Challenges
Synopsys tools address the need for equivalence checking of your large complex SoCs, including memories, full custom logic and I/Os. With unique and patented technologies such as Hier-IQ, datapath targeted solvers, and symbolic simulation, users obtain the most comprehensive equivalence coverage available.

Solution
Equivalence checking tools enable you to quickly prove functional equivalence of your ultra-large ASIC, SoC and FPGA designs as those designs are implemented. Complex designs use numerous optimizations and are composed of extensive datapath, memory and full-custom blocks. The Synopsys' functional verification suite includes Formality for complete synthesis-flow verification and ESP for full-custom, memory verification. Formality and ESP offer leading performance, are easy-to-use, and combine to provide full-chip, RTL-to-transistor functional verification coverage.
