Accellera Systems Initiative is an independent, not-for profit organization dedicated to create, support, promote, and advance system-level design, modeling, and verification standards for use by the worldwide electronics industry. We are composed of a broad range of members that fully support the work of our technical committee to develop technology standards that are balanced, open, and benefit the worldwide electronics industry. Leading companies and semiconductor manufacturers around the world are using our electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) standards in a wide range of projects in numerous application areas to develop consumer, mobile, wireless, automotive, and other “smart” electronic devices. Through an ongoing partnership with the IEEE, standards and technical implementations developed by Accellera Systems Initiative are contributed to the IEEE for formal standardization and ongoing governance.

As waiting for the completion of the analog transistor level could extend the time to market for the digital verification engineers to ensure that both the analog and the digital systems will function properly when they are connected, the functional verification of the analog devices that are modeled using the Real Number Modeling (RNM) has become a crucial step of the mixed-signal SoC's validation. Given that there are numerous effective, adaptable, and trustworthy functional verification approaches, including the Constrained Random Verification (CRV), Functional Coverage, Assertions/Checkers, and Universal Verification Methodology (UVM). The paper explains how these approaches could be used to test an analog-modeled Device Under Test (DUT) and guarantee its functional accuracy
