摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a method for minimizing constraints in the formal verification of an integrated circuit design. The method may include obtaining an unisolated list of constraints initially comprising all known constraints for the integrated circuit design and obtaining an isolated list of constraints initially comprising none of the known constraints. The method may further include attempting to prove an assertion without the known constraints and determining if the assertion is valid. The method may further include updating the isolated list of constraints.
