Efficient Verification of Mixed-Signal SerDes IP Using UVM
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Interface IP (SerDes) are used widely in mobile, automotive, and networking applications. These IP support low power and multiple data rates between master/host and slave/device communication networks to improve the link bandwidth among them. In general, the data communication may happen either within the same system or between the systems. Some SerDes designs also support features like receiver/far-end detection before establishing link communication. The latest USB Type-CTM is unique in that it supports a reversible cable, which means that it detects the cable orientation by determining its voltage at configuration channels. With these additional features, as well as including analog parameters, it has become critical to verify the designs against all possible operating conditions as defined by specification.

Enriching UVM in SystemC with AMS extensions for randomization and functional coverage*
The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is a coverage driven verification approach, which has become the standard for the verification of digital systems. The framework provided by UVM makes it possible to create structured test environments, which facilitates the reuse of verification components and scenarios. However, the UVM library is only available for SystemVerilog, limiting the veri...

In this survey, we prove that the Universal Verification Methodology, UVM, is not only efficient in verifying large-gate-count IP-based System-on-Chip designs, but it is also efficient in verifying small designs, in comparison with the conventional verification techniques, specifically VHDL testbenches. We have built both a UVM verification environment and a VHDL test-bench to verify the operat...
