The top-down design of VLSI-systems typically features a step-wise refinement of intermediate solutions. Even though these refinements do usually not preserve time-scales, current formal verification approaches are largely based on the assumption that both specification and implementation utilize the same scales of time. In this paper, a symbolic methodology is presented to verify the step-wise refinement of finite state machines, allowing for possible differences in timing-granularity.
