Rambus and Cadence collaborated to offer a unique combination of Rambus
PCI-Express digital controllers independently verified by using a Cadence
PCI-Express Universal Verification Component (UVC) with integrated
Compliance Management System (CMS). A detailed description of the collaboration can be found in the
Technical Brief.
Features:
- Allows you to build a complete System on Chip (SoC) verification environment by adding UVCs for each interface of the SoC architecture.
- Includes the Cadence Compliance Management System (CMS) featuring a PCI Express compliance verification plan (vPlan) and compliance tests, both of which have been specifically customized to the Rambus design IP
Benefits:
- Independent verification of IP
- CMS provides an automated plan and metric-driven solution to reach high levels of coverage without the need to develop tests
- Based on the Cadence Incisive® Plan-to-Closure methodology, the offering allows customers to maximize design quality while minimizing protocol expertise and verification time
