Verification IP (VIP) for ASIC and SoC Functional Verification

Truechip Verification IP (VIP) is a ready-to-use, protocol-compliant verification solution that helps engineering teams validate IP blocks and interfaces in ASIC and SoC designs. Each VIP provides a complete verification environment for components that use industry-standard protocols, which speeds up pre-silicon functional verification and helps teams reach verification closure sooner.

Truechip VIPs are developed to the official protocol specifications and offer a plug-and-play interface. You can integrate them into an existing SystemVerilog or UVM testbench without slowing your design and development cycle.

What Is Verification IP?

Verification IP is a pre-built, reusable verification component that models a standard protocol interface. A VIP drives stimulus, monitors traffic and checks the behaviour of the design under test (DUT) against the protocol specification. With a proven VIP in place, teams don’t need to build protocol models, checkers and coverage from scratch. This reduces effort and risk in ASIC verification, FPGA verification and SoC verification, and improves time-to-market.

Key Benefits with Truechip Verification IPs

Native SystemVerilog and UVM-ready: Built in native SystemVerilog and optimized for minimal compute resource usage, Truechip VIPs keep simulation lean and regression runs efficient.

Complete verification environment: Each Truechip VIP includes BFMs (Bus functional models), Monitors, scoreboards, coverage model, assertions, sequences and test cases, so you can start protocol verification right away.

Highly configurable: Full control over VIP configuration lets you adapt the verification environment to any constrained-random or directed test scenario.

Extensive error injection: A wide range of error injection scenarios lets you stress-test the DUT, exercise corner cases and confirm correct handling of protocol violations.

Spec Tagging for Traceability and Faster Verification Closure

Truechip VIPs tag protocol features to the specification across every verification plan:

• Spec tagging for the test plan
• Spec tagging for the monitor check plan
• Spec tagging for the assertion plan
• Spec tagging for the coverage plan

Spec tagging links each section of the protocol specification directly to the tests, checks, assertions and coverage points that verify it. This gives you full traceability from specification to results. You can quickly see which protocol features have been verified and which still have gaps, simplify verification reviews and audits, and track the impact when a specification is updated. The result is a clear, measurable view of verification completeness, so you can sign off with confidence.

Assertion-Based Verification for Formal and Dynamic Flows

Every Truechip VIP ships with a set of protocol assertions that support assertion-based verification (ABV). The same assertions can be reused across:

• Formal verification
• Dynamic (simulation-based) verification

Using one assertion set across all flows means less rework and more consistent protocol checking throughout the verification cycle.

Simulator-Independent and Emulation-Ready Verification IP

• Works with all leading simulation and formal verification tools, with no EDA tool lock-in
• Set of VIPs are emulation-ready and have hardware acceleration support for large SoC designs and faster regression runs

Documentation for Quick VIP Integration

All Truechip VIPs come with documentation that helps new users get started quickly:

• User Manual: Describes every VIP configuration option
• Integration Guide: Covers VIP-to-DUT integration scenarios
