Real Intent Highlights Latest Technology for Advanced Sign-Off Verification at DAC 2011

Ascent XV isolates and eliminates functional bugs that are masked by X (or unknown value) propagation in Register Transfer Level (RTL) simulation and reduces gate-level simulation debugging due to mismatches between RTL and gate-level simulation results.

Featured are the latest advances in Meridian™ CDC, the industry’s flagship Clock Domain Crossing sign-off verification solution, and new capabilities within Ascent Lint, the industry’s fastest and most accurate lint solution with links to automatic formal checks in Ascent IIV (Implied Intent Verification). Real Intent will also show Meridian DFT, its Design for Test verification solution, and PureTime™, its constraints management solution with glitch-aware exception verification.
