Abstract: With the increasing complexity of SoC, functional verification and development of the verification platform has become a bottleneck in designing and developing electronic products. A transaction-based and reusable verification platform is an effective method to realize effective functional verification. This paper describes transaction-based verification based on the reusable methodology, and presents a new design method for monitor which separates physical signals and the data, and transforms the signal and data into transaction description for efficient verification and efficient construction of the verification platform.

Key words: monitor, verification, system on a chip (SoC)
