PRODUCTS VERIFICATION IPS UART
UART
Ensures reliable serial communication and protocol compliance in SoCs.
Overview
The UART Verification IP provides a comprehensive solution for validating UART communication interfaces in System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. It simulates both transmission and reception functionality to ensure data integrity.
This IP supports error injection, debugging tools, and protocol compliance checking. It is ideal for ensuring reliability and protocol compliance in UART-based peripherals used in various applications, from simple devices to advanced systems.
UART Architecture
Key Features
Protocol Compliance: Ensures UART communication adheres to the standard protocol, including key parameters like baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits. This guarantees reliable and consistent data transmission across devices.
Transmission & Reception Testing: Verifies the full functionality of UART interfaces by testing both the transmission and reception of data. This ensures that data is correctly sent and received, maintaining integrity under various conditions.
Error Injection: Simulates real-world communication errors by injecting faults into the UART interface. This helps identify vulnerabilities and tests the system’s ability to recover from errors.
Baud Rate, Parity, and Stop Bit Validation: Checks that the UART interface is correctly configured for baud rate, parity, and stop bits. This ensures that the communication settings are properly set for accurate and consistent data transfer.
Debugging Capabilities: Provides tools such as transaction logging and waveform generation for easier debugging of UART communication issues. This enables engineers to quickly pinpoint and resolve problems in the data flow.
Protocol Coverage and Compliance: Tracks functional coverage to ensure all potential communication scenarios are tested. This guarantees that the UART interface complies fully with the protocol, leading to reliable system performance.
Simulation Integration: Integrates smoothly with popular simulation tools such as SystemVerilog and UVM. This allows for easy verification within existing simulation workflows, enhancing the overall testing efficiency.
