AMBA 3 AHB Bus Verification IP

Overview

AMBA 3 AHB Bus Verification IP provides a smart way to verify the AMBA 3 AHB component of a SOC or an ASIC. The SmartDV's AMBA 3 AHB Bus Verification IP is fully compliant with standard AMBA 3 AHB specification. Our AMBA 3 AHB Bus VIP is proved across multiple customers.

AMBA 3 AHB Bus Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

AMBA 3 AHB Bus Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
