We present a methodology in which the behavior of a switch level device is specified using abstract parameterized regular
expressions. These specifications are used to generate a finite automaton representing an abstraction of the behavior of a
block of memory comprised of a set of such switch level devices. The automaton, in conjunction with an Efficient Memory Model
[1], [2] for the devices, forms a symbolic simulation model representing an abstraction of the array core embedded in a larger design
under analysis. Using Symbolic Trajectory Evaluation, we check the equivalence between a register transfer level description
and a schematic description augmented with abstract specifications for one of the custom memories embedded in the MPC7450
PowerPC processor.
