Silicon-accurate Simulation of ASICs and FPGAs Subject to Metastability Web Seminar
There are currently no dates scheduled for this event.
Overview
Multi-clock designs are subject to metastability causing mismatches between simulation and the silicon reality. This web seminar focuses on the how to ensure that simulations of such designs can nevertheless be accurate predictors of silicon behavior. We show through a set of detailed examples how non-determinism causes by metastability in clock domain crossings can lead to functional problems. We discuss the pros and cons of some current approaches to model metastability, and explain how the comprehensive Questa CDC solution helps you find and eliminate these problems upfront in your RTL simulation of your ASIC and FPGA designs. Includes a demonstration.
What You Will Learn
- How to ensure that simulations are accurate predictors of silicon behavior
- See how non-determinism causes by metastability
- Learn the pros and cons of current approaches to model metastability
