SV assertion
• Immediate assertion
  Need to write in procedural block as it is
  evaluated at that time only. Boolean
  expression is used.
example : HDR : assert (a==`DEFINE);
Simple to understand because same as if else
  branch.
• Concurrent assertion
• Concurrent assertions describe behaviour that
  spans over time. Unlike immediate assertions,
  the evaluation model is based on a clock such
  that a concurrent assertion is evaluated only
  at the occurrence of a clock tick.
• It is based upon sequence of opertion over
  span of time.
• A linear sequence is a finite list of
  SystemVerilog Boolean expressions in a linear
  order of increasing time.
• Special Operators for Concurrent assertions
• ## n : cycle delay
• [n1:n2] : range of cycle delay
• [*n1:n2] : consecutive repetition of one
  sequence
• [-> n1 : n2] : goto operator nonconsecutive
• Useful functions :
• All below function uses clock given as arument
  in sequence.
• $rose
• $fell
• $stable
• $past
• $sampled
• First match : first match is considered all
  others are discarded.
• Throughout
• Within
• Property can be used in assume and cover
  statements also.
