A Model for Hardware Description and Verification
George J. Milne · Design Automation Conference · 1984
Integrated circuit verification is required to establish the correctness of a circuit design before fabrication. This paper proposes CIRCAL as a model in which to describe the behaviour of devices in a natural, concise and accurate manner. CIRCAL supports a number of verification techniques which allow for the formal analysis of circuit behaviour. Properties of the model are outlined while simulation and proof techniques using CIRCAL are presented.
