A Shift Left Strategy Addresses IC Design Challenges Through Design-Stage Verification

Dec 13 2024 27 mins  
Many IC design teams struggle with tight deadlines and limited resources. The industry is constantly searching for new ways to improve efficiency without compromising design quality. While they might find tools that run incrementally faster, the real gains come from adjustments to the design flow – including what we call ‘shift-left’ strategies that pull signoff-quality verif
