Got Coverage?
Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Feb 14, 2025 by Rich Edelman
Welcome to 2025. What happened?! “Coverage” in August in Yosemite backpacking has a different meaning. In August? Snow? Lots of coverage. Got Coverage? But, nevermind – what about YOUR coverage!? You didn’t get enough coverage collected. But just maybe you have a bunch of 0’s and 1’s. You’re late with your coverage, but your old school 0’s and 1’s are going to save the day.

Update from the Standards World: Accellera Approves UVM-MS 1.0 Standard
Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Feb 10, 2025 by Dennis Brophy
Accellera Systems Initiative approved the Universal Verification Methodology for Mixed-Signal (UVM-MS) 1.0 standard. This milestone marks a significant advancement in the verification of analog/mixed-signal (AMS) and digital/mixed-signal (DMS) integrated circuits and systems. UVM is widely used around the world but has struggled to work well with designs that have analog/mixed-signal blocks. This is now changed. And it has also given rise to a new logo from Accellera.
