Abstract
. A methodology for verifying complex circuits is presented, based on a strong coupling of design verification with the hierarchical design process. This goal has been achieved by integrating MEPHISTO, a tool for semi-automated hardware verification, into a commercial design framework. MEPHISTO decomposes the verification goal by a set of hardware-specific proof tactics and provides strategies for synthesizing pre-verified regular components. In case of erroneous implementations, MEPHISTO aids the designer in debugging the circuit by generating a counter model, i.e. input stimuli where specification and implementation behave differently. 1 Introduction To guarantee reliable circuits especially in safety critical applications, and to avoid time consuming and costly redesigns, tools for checking design errors in circuits are mandatory. Usually, this is accomplished by specifying the desired functions and properties of the chip and proving formally that a given implementation behaves a...
