Abstract
Perhaps the most significant use of a Hardware Description Language is for the analysis of circuit designs before fabrication. While simulators that utilise HDL's are the usual analytical tool we show here how the CIRCAL model of device behaviour creates a framework incorporating verification by correctness proof, validation by simulation and other analytical techniques. The limitations of exhaustive simulation make the establishment of design correctness by verification proof a desired goal for the future. Simulation will however always have an important role to play in design analysis and the relationship between simulation and verification is explored and presented.
