PRODUCTS VERIFICATION IPS AMBA APB
AMBA APB
Validates low-power, low-bandwidth peripheral communication in SoCs.
Overview
The AMBA APB Verification IP ensures accurate communication and protocol compliance for low-power, low-bandwidth peripherals in SoC designs. It supports single-cycle read/write operations, making it ideal for simple peripherals like UARTs and GPIOs.
This VIP is essential for validating peripheral interfaces such as timers, displays, and sensor interfaces. It provides a seamless integration into simulation environments, accelerating debugging and ensuring robust performance across various peripheral types
AMBA APB Architecture
Key Features
Protocol Compliance: Ensures that peripheral interfaces comply with the APB protocol standard.
Low Power and Low Bandwidth: The APB is optimized for peripherals with minimal power and bandwidth requirements.
Error Injection Capabilities: Supports error injection to simulate real-world issues like protocol violations and system failures.
Single-Cycle Read/Write Operations: Verifies the functionality of single-cycle read and write operations, ensuring that peripherals with simple data exchange can perform efficiently and without delay in different test scenarios.
Timing and Clock Validation: Validates the clock and timing parameters essential for proper master-slave communication.
Support for Backward Compatibility: Ensures that new APB peripherals remain compatible with older versions of the protocol..
Functional Coverage Metrics: Tracks the completeness of testing by monitoring functional coverage.
Debugging and Tracing Support: Provides powerful debugging tools such as detailed logs and trace capabilities to identify faults during verification.
Simulation Environment Integration: Easily integrates into standard simulation environments like SystemVerilog and UVM.
