Truechip announces early adopter version of sub-system verification IP

Sub-system level verification reduces the verification cycle time as it requires much less run time compared to SOC Verification. A sub-system typically involves multiple related IP functions, each of which may be independent small or large protocols.

These related IP functions combine to perform a new function, in a way that fulfils the sub-system requirement of the chip architecture and may be suitable to a wide range of applications such as Artificial intelligence, Defense, Personal computing, Data centres, Networking and healthcare industry among others.

Nitin Kishore, CEO, Truechip, said, "The launch of Sub-System Verification IP is another step towards macro level verification. Last year we came up with NoC Verification IP which helps to automate the verification of any NoC DUT. Verification engineers can take advantage of this Sub-System VIP not only to reduce the verification cycle time but also to use their creativity at a higher abstraction level. This Sub-System VIP can help to create automated testbench around the DUT, integrate the VIPs automatically and also create test cases to verify the DUT."

Kishore added, "This Sub-System Verification IP is aimed to significantly reducing customer's time to market, verification cycle time and cost by automation and breakthrough solutions, thereby enabling advancement of next gen chips."

TruEye Sub-System Verification IP Key Features:

• Sub-System Memory Map: User will provide the memory map information of the Sub-system DUT to the GUI, along with tasks/ sequences to configure the peripherals.
• Sub-System Verification can be done to verify only connectivity checks or full coverage verification
• Sub-System may contain one or more masters to initiate the transactions along with a NoC/ Crossbar or Fabric
• Sub-System may contain multiple peripherals for which VIPs will be automatically integrated and test cases will also be generated.
• Sub-System Performance requirements are checked, and summary is shared with the user.
• Automated Regression and Regression Analysis are also provided.
