Abstract
PSL is a standard formal language to specify logical and temporal properties under the form of assertions. This paper presents the synthesis of PSL assertions into asynchronous hardware monitors that can be linked to the circuit under monitoring. The checker synthesis is based on a systematic interconnection of asynchronous primitive monitors corresponding to PSL operators. The asynchronous monitors are implemented with quasi delay insensitive logic which gives reliable and robust monitors in the case of truly asynchronous events, temperature or voltage variations. These monitors are applicable to a wider range of verification tasks such as the communications among globally asynchronous modules or in safe or secure applications.

Verification of analog and mixed signal designs using online monitoring

TL;DR: This paper presents a methodology for the specification and verification of AMS designs using online monitoring at runtime based on the notion of System of Recurrence Equations (SREs), and implements the proposed methodology in a C language based tool and utilizes it to verify several properties of a PLL design.
