Microsoft and Siemens authors report additive-AI high-sigma verification of a bandgap design
A Microsoft and Siemens DAC 2025 presentation reports additive-AI verification of a 17,000-device bandgap design to five sigma. For the presented case, the authors report 40.4× fewer simulations and 19.4× lower wall-clock time, from about six hours to 18 minutes. The result remains a bounded customer/vendor case and is not generalized to other designs.
