Abstract: Verification is very important in designing digital systems. It has become a bottleneck in the modern digital system design cycle. In an effort to improve current verification method based on simulation, this paper presents a method for the generation of simulation vectors using FSM. It can improve the coverage of the state space.

Key words: specification, fsm, coverage, event, verification vectors

摘要: 设计验证(Design Verification)在数字系统设计中已经非常重要。功能验证成为了现代数字系统设计周期地瓶颈。作为对基于仿真地验证方法改进的一次尝试,介绍了一种基于有限状态机生成测试向量的方法。它有效地提高了状态空间的覆盖率。
