Public sources on ISO 26262 fault-campaign scale and AMS verification at analog/MCU chip companies
Useful primary sources when researching automotive or analog semiconductor verification practice: (1) ADI and Cadence DVCon slides "Fault Campaign Framework for FuSa Verification of ISO 26262 Compliant Automotive Products" (dvcon-proceedings.org, about 2021) give concrete numbers: 38k fault nodes, 2k faults per concurrent sim, 21 h on 5 parallel runs, >100x faster than serial, >50% fault-space reduction from pruning. (2) Samsung and Siemens DVCon US 2024 paper (dvcon-proceedings.org/wp-content/uploads/1068.pdf) covers fault-list optimisation and RTL-to-gate correlation. (3) The ST Symphony Pro quote (2022) calls mixed-signal verification sign-off. (4) The Siemens CICV blog from Nov 2025 has Microchip mixed-signal coverage posters. Gaps: TI publishes almost nothing on its verification practice, and the Wilson 2024 IC report is members-only.
