The new VIPs support a wide range of industry protocols, including Arm AMBA 5 CHI-f, Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express, GDDR7, DDR5 DIMM, MIPI A-PHY, SoundWire I3S, and USB4 2.0 interfaces.

The company’s customers now have access to a consistent application programming interface across all VIPs, with complete bus function models and integrated protocol checks and coverage models to facilitate quick adoption. The VIPs support multiple application areas and specifications, including hyperscale data centers, automotive and consumer and mobile System-on-Chips (SoCs).

Cadence VIP solutions include the company's TripleCheck technology, which provides users with a specification-compliant verification plan linked to comprehensive coverage models and a test suite to ensure compliance with the interface specification.

The VIPs also support the Cadence System-Level Verification IP (System VIP), which provides users with SoC-level test libraries, performance analysis and data and cache coherency checkers. The company noted that customers can achieve improvements up to 10 times as compared to a manual process for SoC verification.

The new VIP solutions are part of Cadence's broader verification full flow, which includes a variety of company offerings. The Cadence verification full flow delivers the highest verification throughput of bugs per dollar invested per day, supporting the company's Intelligent System Design strategy and enabling SoC design excellence.
