FormalPro

Product Features:

  • Dramatically Reduces ASIC/FPGA Verification Time
  • Compares two designs  
          -  RTL to gate for synthesis
             and ECOs
          -  Gate to gate for layout
              spins
          -  RTL to RTL for language
             conversion
  • Highest capacity tool
           -  Verifies multi-million gate 
             ASIC's as one
  • Fastest route to correct design
          -  Exact location of errors
          -  Tests fixes within the 
             verification session
  • Advanced FPGA Support 
          - Xilinx, Altera, Actel 
          - FVI and VIF automated 
            setup files 
          - Huge productivity boost

Where to Use FormalPro :

  • FormalPro is a Regression Testing Tool
  • That verifies all stages of  gate-level implementation of a design
  • From synthesis through to tape out

Benefits

  • GUI for design entry and initial debug
  • Command line mode for regression testing
  • Constraint language and TCL scripting
  • Incremental Verification
          Recompile only design that has changed
          Restart at intermediate points
