CDC Draft Standard 0.3 Available for Public Review
The Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) Working Group has released draft standard 0.3 for public review. The purpose of this standard is to provide the electronic design automation (EDA), semiconductor, and system design communities with a well-defined specification for unified handling of CDC by vendor tools used across IPs and SoCs.
With this interface standard, every IP developer’s verification tool of choice is run to verify and produce collateral, and a standard format is generated for SoCs that used a different tool.
Highlights of the latest draft include:
- Updates to CDC specifications based on public feedback
- Added support for RDC specifications to complement existing CDC properties
- Added IP-XACT and TCL format information
- Examples of complex cases that will be covered in the next version of the LRM
The CDC Working Group encourages the community to participate in the review and provide feedback via the CDC Community Forum. The public review is open through September 9.
For more background on the standard, view the workshop presented during DVCon U.S. 2024, “Hierarchical CDC and RDC Closure with Standard Abstract Models.”
UVM-SystemC Public Review Now Open
The SystemC Verification Working Group has released the UVM-SystemC 1.0-beta6 proof-of-concept implementation for public review. This is a bugfix release over 1.0-beta5 to address some functionality issues as well as for compatibility with newer compilers and SystemC 3.0.0.
