Design Methodologies
Session - Jun 01, 2012 by Ahmed Eisawy
This session covers the 2 main flows used in mixed-signal design environments: bottom-up design flow and top-down design flow. In each case, the flow is presented along with its merits and demerits. Additionally, the balance as a methodology strategy is demonstrated to improve the end-product.

Design Topologies
Session - Jun 01, 2012 by Ahmed Eisawy
This session covers the 2 main design topologies in mixed-signal SoC: analog-centric mixed-signal designs and digital-centric mixed-signal designs. In each case, the design nature and constraints are presented along with the various available approaches that can be used with their merits and demerits.

Mixing Languages
Session - Jun 01, 2012 by Ahmed Eisawy
This session defines the language choices available in a mixed-signal design structure and how each choice impacts the performance and quality of the process. Then, introduces the concept of design reconfiguration and the available schemes to alter the design structure in constructive manners to help the mixed-signal verification performance which directly helps improve the quality of the design by allowing the designer to cover/test more areas of the design.

Metrics in SoC Verification
Track - Jun 01, 2012 by Andreas Meyer
In this track, we take a broader view of metrics—beyond traditional coverage measurements—that identify a range of metrics across multiple aspects of today’s SoC functional verification process. We then discuss other important considerations when integrating metrics into a project flow, such as metric categorization, run-time control, data management, and reporting and analysis.

Analog Mixed-Signal Verification
Topic - Jun 01, 2012 by None
Today’s ICs increasingly rely on complex mixed-signal functionality with stringent performance and low power requirements for applications in segments including IoT, Automotive, Communications, and Industrials. Verification of these complex mixed-signal ICs is challenging due to the need to ensure that they meet demanding specifications with correct connectivity, functionality, and adequate system performance across analog/digital (A/D) interfaces on the chip. To address these challenges, verification teams need to run an increasing number of mixed-signal simulations at the top level as well as at the sub-system level. These mixed-signal simulation solutions need to be fast, accurate, easy to use, and seamlessly integrate into existing analog and digital verification flows.
