  • Method and system for providing hierarchical self-checking in ASIC simulation
    Patent number: 7072816
    Abstract: A method and system for providing simulation of an integrated circuit during development of the integrated circuit is disclosed. The integrated circuit has an island that includes an interface. The method and system include a snooper, a checker and a generator. The snooper is coupled with an interface and is for obtaining an output provided by the island during simulation. The checker is coupled with an interface and is for checking the output to determine whether the output is a desired output. The generator is coupled with an interface and is for providing an input to the interface during simulation. The generator is coupled with a test case that directs the generator.
