Zusammenfassung:	This article describes a formal approach to the specification and verification of a microprocessor design and presents a case study of applying this technique to the Scalable Configurable Instrument Processor. These activities greatly increase confidence that the microprocessor correctly implements its intended functionality. In addition, the formal specification of the processor's functionality provides the basis for future work verifying the correctness of software.
