Knowing "AMS Verification"

Fresh out of college and zeal to work is equal to a "dreamer". The first step into office and the official ID makes all of the first timers share a smile within themselves. I got the same tickling and I smiled within myself when I joined job for the first time. This is how I was told "Welcome to the AMS Team". That time anything that had "Analog" made me feel its surely design - "Analog Design". Verification was  not a good name in my world. But slowly and silently, I learned all the aspects of the Design process. Everyone must agree that Verification is the integral part of the Chip to Market. So, do I.

Around 5 to 6 years back all the job portals used to be filled with the RTL Verification requirements and No AMS requirement. Verification meant RTL Verification but there was no room for the AMS Verification. For quite some time, I have observed that emptiness is no more there and AMS Verification requirement is making its own space. Job portals are the best source to know what is going on in the industry and what is the next tool we need to get armed with.

Here, I see a plethora of RTL / Digital Verification or Analog Design but I did not see any Analog Mixed Signal Verification Blogs like that. So, here we are for the AMS Verification Engineers.

Hope the blog helps!
