The original Verilog simulator, Gateway Design's Verilog-XL was the first (and only, for a time) Verilog simulator to be qualified for ASIC (validation) sign-off. After its acquisition by Cadence Design Systems, Verilog-XL changed very little over the years, retaining an interpreted language engine, and freezing language-support at Verilog-1995.
To simulate an e-testbench with a design written in VHDL/Verilog, Specman must be run in conjunction with a separate HDL simulation tool. Specman is a feature of Cadence's new Xcelium simulator, where tighter product integration offers both faster runtime performance and debugs capabilities not available with other HDL simulators.
The e language uses an aspect-oriented programming (AOP) approach, which is an extension of the object-oriented programming approach to specifically address the needs required in functional verification.
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 ...
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 ...
TINA software is available in installable and cloud-based versions. Feature versions exist for use in industry [6] and for educational use. [2] [7] TINA allows simulation, design, and real-time testing of hardware description language (HDL), such as VHDL, VHDL-AMS, Verilog, Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog and SystemC and for microcontroller (MCU) circuits, [2] as well as mixed electronic ...
An HDL simulator — the program that executes the testbench — maintains the simulator clock, which is the master reference for all events in the testbench simulation. Events occur only at the instants dictated by the testbench HDL (such as a reset-toggle coded into the testbench), or in reaction (by the model) to stimulus and triggering events.
ModelSim is a multi-language environment by Siemens [1] (previously developed by Mentor Graphics, [2]) for simulation of hardware description languages such as VHDL, Verilog and SystemC, and includes a built-in C debugger. [3] [2] ModelSim can be used independently, or in conjunction with Intel Quartus Prime, PSIM, [4] Xilinx ISE or Xilinx ...
