LEMA AMS verification tool flow

Invited: Advances in formal methods for the design of analog/mixed-signal systems

Analog/mixed-signal (AMS) systems are rapidly expanding in all domains of information and communication technology. They are a critical part of the support for large-scale high-performance digital systems, provide important functionalities in …

LEMA: A tool for the formal verification of digitally-intensive analog/mixed-signal circuits

The increasing integration of analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuits into system designs has further complicated an already difficult verification problem. Recently, formal verification, which has been successful in the purely digital domain, has made …

A new assertion property language for analog/mixed-signal circuits

In automating the verification of analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuits, it essential to have a specification language that can describe the behavior that needs to be checked. Although powerful and very expressive, many such languages have a steep …

Improved Model Generation and Property Specification for Analog/Mixed-Signal Circuits

This document describes an improved method of formal verification of complex analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuits. Currently, in our LEMA tool, verification properties are encoded using labeled Petri net (LPN). These LPNs are generated manually, a …
