Connecting Simulink with your SystemVerilog Workflow for Functional Verification

Giorgia Zucchelli, MathWorks
Sudeepa Prakash, MathWorks

Learn how to increase the productivity of IC/ASIC verification processes by exporting MATLAB^®and Simulink^®models into verification environments.

Using HDL Verifier™ with Simulink Coder™ or Embedded Coder^®, you can export a Simulink subsystem as a SystemVerilog DPI component for behavioral simulation in digital or analog/mixed-signal simulators from Synopsys^®, Cadence^®, and Mentor Graphics^®. You can model and export algorithms, components, environment models, and data sources using this method.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how to:

Generate a SystemVerilog DPI component code from your Simulink model
Import and simulate an equivalent behavioral SystemVerilog DPI component for analog/mixed-signal simulation using Cadence Virtuoso^® AMS Designer
Import and simulate a SystemVerilog DPI component for digital simulation using Mentor Graphics Questa^®

About the Presenters

Dr. Giorgia Zucchelli is the product marketing manager for RF and mixed-signal at MathWorks. Before moving to this role in 2012, she spent three years as an application engineer focusing on signal processing and communications systems and specializing in analog simulation. Previously, Giorgia worked at NXP Semiconductors on mixed-signal verification methodologies and at Philips Research developing system-level models for innovative telecommunication systems. Giorgia earned her master’s degree in electronic engineering and her doctorate in electronics for telecommunications from the University of Bologna. Her thesis dealt with modeling high-frequency RF devices.

Sudeepa Prakash is product marketing manager for HDL code generation and verification products at MathWorks. Prior to joining MathWorks, she was an embedded software engineer at Johnson Controls. Sudeepa has also worked with scientists at LRDE in India on digital modules for radar systems using HDL code generation. She has a master’s degree in computer science from the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee and a bachelor’s in electronics and communications from Visvesvaraya Technological University.
