SystemVerilog Assertions Handbook is a follow-up book to Using PSL/Sugar for Formal and Dynamic Verification 2nd Edition. It focuses on the assertions aspect of SystemVerilog, along with an explanation of the language concepts along with many examples to demonstrate how SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) can be effectively used in an Assertion-Based Verification methodology to verify designs written in HDLs like SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL. The integration of assertions in SystemVerilog proves very beneficial for the definition of a verification environment because SystemVerilog is a modern language with powerful and advanced constructs like interfaces, queues, associative array, semaphores, system functions, classes, methods, packages, safe pointers, etc. This book presents different classes of designs, and demonstrates how SystemVerilog Assertions are used in the design process from requirements document, verification plan, design and verification using simulation and formal verification. Many of the examples use the advanced features of SystemVerilog including packages, interfaces, types, and binding. In addition, synthesizable RTL SystemVerilog code examples were synthesized to demonstrated feasibility. Other features provided in this book are a "dictionary" of English to SystemVerilog Assertions examples, guidelines in the use of SystemVerilog Assertions, and a quick reference guide of the SystemVerilog Assertions syntax. This book represents the collaboration of three authors who are experts in system engineering, architecture, and design and verification with hardware description languages (HDLs) and hardware verification languages (HVLs), along with experience in authoring books, thus bringing more synergism to this SystemVerilog Assertions Handbook.
