Summary :

This paper describes a comprehensive simulation and test environment for prototype LSI verification. We develop a Perl package, ST, for simulation & test of digital circuits. A designer can describe a testbench with the Perl syntax, which can be converted to various kinds of simulators and LSI testers. Parameters such as a target simulator/tester, cycle time and voltage levels can be changed very easily just modifying arguments of subroutines. We also develop DUT boards which consist of a tester-dependent mother board and a package-dependent daughter board. Using ST and the DUT boards, a designer can start verification just after getting fabricated LSIs.
