OneSpin Solutions Adds Formal Fault Qualification Analysis to Safety Critical Apps Portfolio; Will Demonstrate OneSpin 360 Qualify at DAC

Expands Safety Critical Formal Verification Solution for Automotive, Other Industry Segments Working With High-Reliability Design Constraints

SAN JOSE, CALIF., Jun. 03, 2015 – 

OneSpin Solutions™, provider of innovative formal solutions targeting a broad range of challenging verification problems, announced it will demonstrate its new OneSpin 360 Qualify™ product, formal fault qualification analysis for safety critical systems, during the 52nd Design Automation Conference (DAC) in Booth #3126.

OneSpin 360 Qualify accelerates and increases the precision of safety critical fault verification, an important part of the qualification process for ISO 26262 and other safety standards. The latest in a growing portfolio of formal verification apps, it formally identifies hard to track "non-propagatable" faults in a safety critical design verification operation, streamlining the fault simulation process and increasing overall "detected fault" verification accuracy.

"Safety critical designs represent a natural opportunity for exhaustive formal verification and, through our work with industry leaders, we now have a rich portfolio of effective apps in this area," says Dr. Raik Brinkmann, OneSpin Solutions? president and chief executive officer (CEO). "Fault qualification is one of the most time-consuming and important operations in the verification of these designs, and we have produced a unique app that fully complements our safety critical solution."

Specialized mechanisms are integrated into safety critical electronics components to ensure a reliable, deterministic reaction to a random hardware failure. ISO 26262 and other standards demand a quantitative analysis of these failures and their outcomes based on a test of the gate-level models, where faults are injected to qualify onboard safety functions.

Formal Safety Fault Pruning with OneSpin 360 Qualify

OneSpin 360 Qualify analyzes the overall potential fault population prior to fault simulation, enabling the overall fault detection ratio metric to be improved with minimal effort. This pre-simulation formal analysis detects non-propagatable faults ?? that is, runtime faults that cannot trigger onboard safety logic in a safety critical electronic component. It aids in the debug of stimulus to improve fault propagation, and concentrates the fault simulation process on propagating faults. This enables the overall fault detection ratio metric to be improved with minimal effort.

While OneSpin 360 Qualify primarily operates on a gate level netlist, it can also be applied to register transfer level (RTL) code, and supports the SystemVerilog, VHDL and SystemC languages. It analyzes faults with no design change, a key requirement of many safety standards. It can operate on an entire fault population, or a user-defined fault list to provide a statistical analysis based on fault sampling. A specified area of interest or restricted fault list also may be applied to save unnecessary processing time. An initial design state generated at a specific timestamp during a simulation may be loaded for context specific testing. The app includes full graphical debugging to improve fault propagation.

About OneSpin Solutions

OneSpin Solutions of Munich, Germany, is an electronic design automation (EDA) supplier and was founded in 2005 as a spin-off from Infineon Technologies AG. Its international team of experts leverages more than 300 engineer-years of formal verification technology development and application service experience to enable design teams to avoid costly redesigns and respins, while dramatically cutting their verification effort, costs and time-to-market pressures. Market-leading automotive, telecommunications, consumer electronics, and embedded systems companies rely on OneSpin to reduce their verification effort and achieve the industry s highest possible verification quality.

OneSpin Solutions was established in May 2005 as a commercial EDA company, and is funded by Azini Capital, London, UK. The company is headquartered in Munich, Germany and has operations in North America, Europe and Japan.

Formal verification technology development and application services at Infineon and Siemens which accumulated since 1989 are the roots of the OneSpin s broad experience in the formal verification domain. Consequently, OneSpin has the greatest expertise and longest track-record in formal verification in the EDA industry.

Today, OneSpin provides enduring solutions that enable the most thorough and easiest to use logic verification available.

These solutions range from synthesis verification at gate-level to design verification at the transaction level, addressing the increasing demand for predictable, highest functional quality of digital modules and SoCs. OneSpin s solutions increase the productivity of design and verification teams, transforming formal verification into a broadly applicable engineering practice.
