A testbench research based on UVM for ABCStar

Abstract

As physicists want to put more and more functionalities and algorithms into frontend ASICs, the logic design (of some ASICs) become more and more complicated. A reliable, robust functional verification testbench is one of the most important part during ASIC design. This paper presents a well-constructed testbench based on Universal Verification Methodology(UVM) research for ATLAS Phase-II upgrade silicon strip detector front-end readout chip.
