CoverAssert: Iterative LLM Assertion Generation Driven by Functional Coverage via Syntax-Semantic Representations
Yonghao Wang, Yang Yin, Hongqin Lyu +8
LLMs can generate SystemVerilog assertions (SVAs) from natural language specs, but single-pass outputs often lack functional coverage due to limited IC design understanding. We pro…
From Indiscriminate to Targeted: Functionally Critical Signal-Driven Assertion Generation using LLMs for Efficient RTL Verification
Yonghao Wang, Hongqin Lyu, Boling Chen +9
Functional verification has become the most time-consuming phase in IC development, and Assertion-Based Verification (ABV) is key to reducing debugging time. However, existing LLM-…
Iterative LLM-Based Assertion Generation Using Syntax-Semantic Representations for Functional Coverage-Guided Verification
Yonghao Wang, Jiaxin Zhou, Yang Yin +6
While leveraging LLMs to automatically generate SystemVerilog assertions (SVAs) from natural language specifications holds great potential, existing techniques face a key challenge…
Think with Self-Decoupling and Self-Verification: Automated RTL Design with Backtrack-ToT
Zhiteng Chao, Yonghao Wang, Xinyu Zhang +9
Large language models (LLMs) hold promise for automating integrated circuit (IC) engineering using register transfer level (RTL) hardware description languages (HDLs) like Verilog.…
AssertMiner: Module-Level Spec Generation and Assertion Mining using Static Analysis Guided LLMs
Hongqin Lyu, Yonghao Wang, Jiaxin Zhou +3
Assertion-based verification (ABV) is a key approach to checking whether a logic design complies with its architectural specifications. Existing assertion generation methods based…
DeepAssert: An LLM-Aided Verification Framework with Fine-Grained Assertion Generation for Modules with Extracted Module Specifications
Yonghao Wang, Jiaxin Zhou, Hongqin Lyu +3
Assertion-Based Verification (ABV) is a crucial method for ensuring that logic designs conform to their architectural specifications. However, existing assertion generation methods…
