Question 1.
What is the main purpose of equivalence checking?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens after synthesis.
Question 2.
Define property checking in the context of RTL verification.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on how properties are validated.
3Question 3.
What does equivalence checking verify?
- That two designs are built the same way
- That two designs behave identically
- That one design is faster than another
Show hintHide hint
Think about the function of the design after it's processed.
4Question 4.
Property checking relies on what logical framework?
- Finite State Machines
- Sequential Logic
- Temporal Logic
Show hintHide hint
Recall how we describe conditions over time.
Question 5.
Consider a design with multiple states and transitions. Describe how you would approach using model checking to verify that all safety properties hold. What tools might be useful?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the properties you want to assess as you explore.
Question 6.
Explain how bounded model checking can be utilized to identify a potential corner case in a design. Provide an example scenario.
