An undefined signal at a critical control junction in a design, or a register unexpectedly loaded with garbage, can quickly cascade into a perplexing, show-stopping issue. Unfortunately, the handling ‘X’ level signals differ in logic synthesis and simulation.

The automated Questa Check X app is designed to automatically employ formal analysis to exhaustively identify ‘X’ propagation issues in your design, taking your RTL and a spec of your initialization sequence as input.
X-state verification
An undefined signal at a critical control junction in a design, or a register unexpectedly loaded with garbage, can quickly cascade into a perplexing, show-stopping issue. Unfortunately, the handling ‘X’ level signals differ in logic synthesis and simulation. In the former case, ‘X’ is treated as a “don’t care”; the latter ‘X’ is treated as an “unknown”.
