In the rapidly evolving landscape of electronic design, ensuring that complex mixed-signal designs function correctly is more critical than ever. Mixed-signal verification, or AMS verification, lies at the heart of this challenge, bridging the gap between analog and digital designs in an increasingly digital world. As these technologies become more

Rising design complexity is leading to near exponential increase in verification efforts. The industry has embraced verification reuse by adopting UVM, deploying VIPs and plugging block level env components at sub system or SoC level. According to a verification study conducted by Wilson research in 2012 (commissioned by Mentor) the engineers spend ~60%
