Verification IP

Truechip’s Verification IP (VIP) provides an effective and efficient way to verify the components interfacing with industry-standard protocols in an ASIC/FPGA or SOC.

Truechip Verification IP are fully compliant with standard specifications and come with an easy plug-and-play interface so that there is no hit on the design and development cycle time.

Key Benefits of Truechip Verification IP:

• All Verification IP include Coverage, Assertions, BFMs, Monitors, Scoreboard, and Test Cases.
• All VIPs support a wide variety of error injection scenarios to help stress test the DUT.
• Native SystemVerilog architecture is optimized for minimal compute resource usage.
• All VIPs are highly configurable, giving the user complete control.
• Truechip VIPs have Spec tagging of features –
  • Spec tagging of features for test plan
  • Spec tagging of features for Monitor check plan
  • Spec tagging of features for the Assertion plan
  • Spec tagging of features for the Coverage plan

Sub-System:

An IP subsystem is more than just a new and bigger type of IP block. A subsystem typically involves multiple related IP functions, each of which may be very large in its own right. These related IP functions combine to perform a new function, but must do so in a way that is applicable to a wide range of applications
