SystemVerilog, standardized as IEEE 1800, a technical standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is a hardware description and hardware verification language used to model, design, simulate, test and implement electronic systems.
Verilog was later submitted to IEEE and became IEEE Standard 1364-1995, commonly referred to as Verilog-95. In the same time frame Cadence initiated the creation of Verilog-A to put standards support behind its analog simulator Spectre. Verilog-A was never intended to be a standalone language and is a subset of Verilog-AMS which encompassed ...
Icarus Verilog is an implementation of the Verilog hardware description language compiler that generates netlists in the desired format and a simulator. It supports the 1995, 2001 and 2005 versions of the standard, portions of SystemVerilog , and some extensions.
Verilog-AMS is a derivative of the Verilog hardware description language that includes Analog and Mixed-Signal extensions (AMS) in order to define the behavior of analog and mixed-signal systems. It extends the event-based simulator loops of Verilog/ SystemVerilog / VHDL , by a continuous-time simulator, which solves the differential equations ...
Verilog-A was an all-analog subset of Verilog-AMS that was the project's first phase. There was considerable delay between the first Verilog-A language reference manual and the full Verilog-AMS , and in that time Verilog moved to the IEEE, leaving Verilog-AMS behind at Accellera .
The four values are 1, 0, Z and X. 1 and 0 stand for Boolean true and false, Z stands for high impedance or open circuit and X stands for don't care (e.g., the value has no effect). This logic is itself a subset of the 9-valued logic standard called IEEE 1164 and implemented in Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language ...
A formal equivalence check can be performed between any two representations of a design: RTL <> netlist, netlist <> netlist or RTL <> RTL, though the latter is rare compared to the first two. Typically, a formal equivalence checking tool will also indicate with great precision at which point there exists a difference between two representations.
In December 2009, a technical subcommittee of Accellera — a standards organization in the electronic design automation (EDA) industry — voted to establish the UVM and decided to base this new standard on the Open Verification Methodology (OVM-2.1.1), [1] a verification methodology developed jointly in 2007 by Cadence Design Systems and Mentor Graphics.
