Empowering Verification Engineers to Build Better SoCs
Welcome to BitwiseBlog — your dedicated resource for mastering ASIC design verification through practical, high-impact insights.
With 15+ years of real-world experience in SoC and IP verification, I have crafted this blog to help engineers, verification leads, and aspiring professionals deepen their understanding of methodologies, protocols and tools such as SystemVerilog, UVM, AXI, PCIe, USB, Networking Protocols, ARM-based SoCs and so on.
About me in brief
Based in Hyderabad, India, with 15+ years of experience in SoC/IP verification using Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and C++.
Delivered full verification environments for multiple networking SoCs and several IPs from testbench architecture to closure. Expert in constraint-random testbenches, functional coverage, and assertion-based verification to ensure design compliance.
Deep understanding of ARM-based SoCs, computer architecture, and cache coherency, protocols like AXI/ACE, Ethernet, WIFI, USB and PCIe.
Skilled in Python scripting for automation and process efficiency across verification flows.
Who this blog is for
If you are working in design verification (or preparing to do so), whether you’re a fresh graduate, a junior engineer in verification or someone transitioning into a verification role, you have come to the right place.
Here you’ll find deep-dive tutorials, real-world patterns, interview prep, and practical guides to help you confidently create and verify SoC designs.
Why I create this blog
Early in my career I realised a major gap: Not mush information available for SystemVerilog/UVM and protocols. I spent good amount of time browsing for solutions, debugging issues, make mistakes and learning from them the hard way. After nearly a decade, I feel that the gap still exist.
So I created this blog to share those lessons, reduce frustration and help you step up your verification game without the painful trial-and-error.
What you’ll get here
Step-by-step tutorials: UVM architecture, SystemVerilog, Design patterns, Protocol-specific verification guides: AXI4/ACE, PCIe checklists and test-cases.
Career & skills posts: interview questions, how to position yourself as a verification engineer, needed tools and mindset: templates, cheat-sheets, checklists you can use directly in your job or projects
