The AVSBus Verification IP provides an effective and efficient way to verify the components interfacing with AVSBus interface of an IP and SOC. The AVSBus VIP is fully compliant to PMBus part III - AVSBus Specification version 1.4.1. The VIP is lightweight with an easy plug-and-play interface, so that there is no hit on the design cycle time.
AVSBus v1.4.1 Verification IP
Overview
Key Features
- Fully compliant with AVSBus Specification as defined in PMBus version v1.4.1 part III and seamlessly integrated with PMBus Specification v1.4.
- Supports topologies with one controller–one target as well as multi-link configurations.
- Supports both 3-wire bidirectional and 2-wire unidirectional AVSBus communication modes.
- Supports AVSBus data format, including numeric values represented using standard two's complement.
- Supports necessary conversions between AVSBus and PMBus data formats.
