🚀 Proud to announce the successful completion of my final project in the Digital Verification Diploma: Verification of a Synchronous FIFO Design using UVM! I successfully verified a FIFO Design using UVM (Universal Verification Methodology). This project allowed me to identify and resolve design bugs, ensure seamless data flow, and confirm the design's robustness for real-world applications, such as data pipelines, communication protocols, and buffering. 💻 UVM-based Verification: Built a comprehensive UVM testbench, incorporating driver, monitor, agent, environment, scoreboard, and functional coverage. Using constrained random stimulus to verify different operational modes. Ensured accuracy by comparing outputs with a reference model. Special thanks to Eng. Kareem Waseem for his guidance throughout the course!  Check out the full project on GitHub: https://lnkd.in/dSkkyspE #ICDesign #FIFO #UVM #SystemVerilog #DesignVerification #DigitalDesign #MemoryDesign #VLSI #Semiconductors #Verification #HardwareVerification #Engineering #DesignValidation

I'm excited to announce that I’ve successfully completed my first UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) project, focusing on a FIFO design! 🛠️📈 In this project, I worked on building a robust and Full UVM Environment that included: -Structured stimulus generation via sequences -FIFO design verification through functional coverage and assertions -Implementing a scoreboard to ensure data correctness -Comprehensive monitoring and checking of various FIFO conditions (full, empty, almost full, almost empty, overflow, underflow) Through this experience, I learned: ✅ How to build scalable testbenches using UVM ✅ The importance of functional coverage in verification ✅ Debugging strategies for complex verification environments ✅ Best practices in building reusable verification components you can check the code at my repo : https://lnkd.in/eNptXrAV #UVM #SystemVerilog #FPGA #VLSI #Verification #FIFO #FunctionalCoverage #Assertions #DigitalDesign #TechJourney #LearningNeverStops #HardwareVerification #NextStep

🚀 Excited to Announce My Latest UVM-Based Verification Project! 🚀 I’ve successfully developed a UVM-based verification environment for a configurable Synchronous FIFO. The project covered multiple verification steps to ensure full functionality and reliability. Key milestones include: 1. Shared Package & Interface: Created a shared_pkg and an interface to connect the design with the testbench. 2. Assertion & Configuration: Developed assertion files to verify design behavior, and a configuration class to manage the virtual interface. 3. Sequences & Coverage: Created 5 sequences (reset, write_only, read_only, etc.), and implemented coverage to verify all design aspects. 4. Driver, Monitor, and Agent: Set up components to manage data flow and ensure the verification environment was robust and adaptable. 5. Scoreboard & Coverage Collector: Built tools to compare actual vs. expected results and ensure all input/output combinations were covered. This project was an amazing learning experience in UVM and SystemVerilog. Special thanks to Eng. Kareem Waseem for their guidance!

🎯 Project Completed: Synchronous FIFO Verification using UVM! 🔍 Excited to share that I’ve successfully completed a Synchronous FIFO Verification project using Universal Verification Methodology (UVM)! 🎉 In this project, I converted the FIFO verification project using SV into a full UVM environment, ensuring that all edge cases were thoroughly verified. 🔑 Key Accomplishments: - Developed a fully-functional UVM testbench with driver, monitor, scoreboard, coverage, and sequencer to test the FIFO design. - Applied 4 different sequences (reset, write only, read only, write and read) and generated functional coverage to ensure comprehensive verification. - Used SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) to validate critical FIFO properties, including handling of control signals like full, empty, almost full, and almost empty, in addition to making the reference function in the score board class capable to verify them. This project significantly sharpened my skills in UVM, SystemVerilog, and functional verification, and has reinforced the importance of rigorous testing for hardware designs. Looking forward to more challenging verification projects! #UVM #SystemVerilog #Verification #DigitalDesign #HardwareDesign #FIFO #RTLVerification #FunctionalVerification

🚀 Excited to share my latest project: Verification of FIFO Design using UVM! 🚀 In this project, I took on the challenge of verifying a First In, First Out (FIFO) memory system using UVM (Universal Verification Methodology). I identified and resolved design bugs throughout the verification process, ensuring the FIFO system works as expected in real-world scenarios like data buffering, communication protocols, and data processing pipelines. Project Highlights: FIFO ensures that data is processed in the same order it was received—critical for timing-sensitive applications. I verified important features such as handling overflow, underflow, and almost full/empty states. Focused on verifying edge cases and timing issues early, ensuring robust design. My UVM-based Verification Process: Developed a testbench using UVM with sequences, drivers, monitors, agents, a scoreboard, and functional coverage. Verified the FIFO across multiple operational modes using constrained random stimulus to thoroughly stress-test the design. Ensured comprehensive coverage across all scenarios, with a detailed scoreboard to validate outputs against a reference model. I’m excited to apply these skills to future projects and continue pushing the boundaries of digital design! 💡🔧 Check out the full project:https://lnkd.in/dqzGvRpx #SystemVerilog #FIFO #DigitalDesign #HardwareVerification #Engineering #TechJourney #Verification #Success #ASICDesign #FPGA #RTLDesign #EDA #Innovation #VLSI #ChipDesign#VerificationEngineer #EngineeringExcellence #LogicDesign
