Standardization Of HDMs For Hierarchical CDC And RDC Analysis


Currently hierarchical data models (HDM) must be generated with the same EDA tool that customers will use to consume the HDM for CDC and RDC analysis at the SoC level. To resolve this problem a CDC Working Group was created within the Accellera organization. The goal of this Working Group is to create a standard format for HDMs so the models can be consumed by any EDA tool irrespective of the s... » read more

Raising The Bar On Flat CDC Verification With Hierarchical Data Models


By Ashish Hari, Aditya Vij, and Ping Yeung Traditionally, clock domain crossing (CDC) verification at the SoC level has relied on flat simulation runs. But flat CDC verification has run out of gas. Largely because of the increase in the number of asynchronous clocks in larger, faster, more complex designs. Flat CDC runs are too performance intensive, time-consuming, and result in high noise.... » read more
