Simulation VIP for CAN
Cadence provides a mature and comprehensive Verification IP (VIP) for the CAN (Controller Area Network) Protocol.
Overview
Cadence provides a mature and comprehensive Verification IP (VIP) for the CAN (Controller Area Network) Protocol. The Cadence® Verification IP for CAN provides a complete bus functional model (BFM), integrated automatic protocol checks, and coverage model. Designed for easy integration in testbenches at IP, system-on-chip (SoC), and system levels, the VIP for CAN helps you reduce time to test, accelerate verification closure and ensure end-product quality. The VIP runs on all major simulators and supports SystemVerilog and e verification languages along with associated methodologies, including the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) and Open Verification Methodology (OVM).
CAN is a serial communications protocol with multi-master bus access, time synchronization, and high error-detection capability. Its domain of application ranges from high-speed networks to low-cost multiplex wiring.
Supported specifications: CAN protocol versions 2.0 and 1.0, Flexible Data-Rate version 1.0, CAN XL protocol CiA 610-1 version 0.0.4.
Key features
