Abstract:Abstract-We present a method to abstract, formalize, and verify industrial flash memory implementations. Flash memories contain specialized transistors, e.g., floating gate and split gate devices, which preclude the use of traditional switch-level abstractions for their verification. We circumvent this problem through behavioral abstractions, which allow formalization of the behaviors of the design as interacting state machines. Behavioral abstractions are agnostic to transistor type, making them suitable for … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
