This book describes the life cycle process of IP cores, from specification to production, including IP modeling, verification, optimization, and protection. Various trade-offs in the design process are discussed, including those associated with many of the most common memory cores, controller IPs and system-on-chip (SoC) buses. Readers will also benefit from the author’s practical coverage of new verification methodologies. such as bug localization, UVM, and scan-chain. A SoC case study is presented to compare traditional verification with the new verification methodologies.

· Discusses the entire life cycle process of IP cores, from specification to production, including IP modeling, verification, optimization, and protection;

· Introduce a deep introduction for Verilog for both implementation and verification point of view.

· Demonstrates how to use IP in applications such as memory controllers and SoC buses.

· Describes a new verification methodology called bug localization;

· Presents a novel scan-chain methodology for RTL debugging;

· Enables readers to employ UVM methodology in straightforward, practical terms.
