Cadence® Incisive® Verification IP (VIP) delivers the industry's broadest and deepest VIP portfolio, proven on well over 2,000 verification projects. It supports more than 30 protocols, including AMBA AHB and AXI and the new AMBA 4 (AXI4), PCI Express, USB, Ethernet, MIPI, OCP, SAS and SATA and many more. This means Cadence can typically provide all the protocol verification required for your project. And with nearly 10 years of expertise and success in VIP creation and deployment, Cadence provides users the single best choice to meet their verification predictability, productivity, and quality needs.
 Cadence continues to invest heavily in VIP to keep pace with users' increasing protocol verification needs. Even as the VIP portfolio's breadth expands, Cadence also retains and increase its traditional leadership in VIP capability depth. For example, Incisive Universal Verification Components (UVCs) provide much more than the conventional BFMs provided by other suppliers. Incisive UVCs include the unique automated protocol Compliance Management System (CMS), they comply with the multi-language Open Verification Methodology, and they directly enable the Cadence metric-driven verification (MDV) flow. This depth leadership also extends to verification engines—only Cadence provides advanced testbench VIP, assertion-based VIP*, transaction-based acceleration VIP*, and SpeedBridge Adapters for emulation and in-circuit system validation.
Incisive VIP maximizes quality, productivity, and predictability while minimizing verification environment bring-up time. And of course, all Cadence UVCs are OVM-compliant to ensure plug-and-play interoperability and reusability. This boosts productivity when moving from block- to chip- to system-level verification or to derivative projects. And since Incisive VIP supports SystemVerilog, e , Verilog®, VHDL, and C/C++/SystemC® languages, users are free to use their IEEE-standard language of choice since.
Compliance Management SystemThe Compliance Management System (CMS) is a major differentiator for Incisive VIP:
- Automates protocol compliance verification by applying Cadence's metric driven verification methodology, thus increasing productivity while reducing the protocol expertise needed
- Automatically generates complex scenarios and/or error conditions, eliminating the need to create and manage hundreds or thousands of directed tests (as required with conventional BFMs)
- Automatically correlates functional coverage results to the protocol specification, making it easy to accurately assess verification progress and risk areas
