Questa Verification IP
The Questa Verification IP (QVIP) is a library of comprehensive and scalable verification IP solutions that support many industry-standard protocols. Using a SystemVerilog interface, each QVIP in the library integrates seamlessly with basic and advanced UVM-based verification environments. Based on a common architecture, all QVIPs in the library provide reusable standard UVM components, such as agents, sequences, sequence items, assertions, and analysis components. The test and coverage sequences are flexible and customizable to suit your design verification requirements and are designed to provide 100% coverage of the test plan.
Salient Features:
- QVIP provides a UVM agent specialised for multiple protocols and interfaces
- Agent has an instance of the VIP config class which in turn has a virtual interface handle
- Enable listeners, and loggers through agent configurations
- Coverage and plan in XML with specification tagging
- Stimulus can be written using sequences to Initiate all character transactions
- Analysis components and assertions (protocol checker)
- Transaction debug to enable quick understanding and analysis of bus
Application areas:
- Aerospace and defence
- Automotive industries
- Electric vehicles
- Consumer electronics
- Telecommunication sector
