Abstract
A method for verifying a power-management system including a controller and a plurality of power devices, wherein the controller receives a plurality of input signals to generate a plurality of control signals to control the power devices, includes: determining each of the power devices operating in a corresponding mode when the power-management operates under a power configuration; determining a target combination of the control signals when each of the power devices operates in the corresponding mode; patternlessly verifying a behavior of the controller with an input combination of the input signals for the power-management system operating under the power configuration to generate a calculated result of the control signals; comparing the calculated result to the target combination; and determining that the input combination is valid when the calculated result is equal to the target combination.
