In short: An immediate assertion checks a condition the moment the simulator reaches it in procedural code, like a plain if-check. A concurrent assertion checks behaviour over time, sampling signals on a clock edge and spanning one or more cycles. Use immediate for a quick single-point check, and concurrent for anything that involves “on the…
In short: An assertion is a small rule that describes how a design should behave. If the design breaks the rule during simulation, the assertion fails and points you straight to the problem. The big advantages are early bug detection, better visibility into what went wrong, reuse in both simulation and formal tools, and a…
In short: SVA bind lets you attach assertions to a design module without editing that module. You write your checkers in a separate assertion module, then use the bind keyword to connect them to a target module or a specific instance. The design source stays untouched, which is ideal when you are not allowed to…
