Simulation VIP for MIPI RFFE

Overview

Cadence provides a mature and comprehensive Verification IP (VIP) for the MIPI® RF Front-End Control Interface (RFFEsm) protocol. Incorporating the latest protocol updates, the Cadence® Verification IP for RFFE 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 RFFE helps you reduce time to test, accelerate verification closure, and ensure end-product quality. The VIP runs on all major simulators and supports SystemVerilog verification language along with associated methodologies, including the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) and Open Verification Methodology (OVM).

Supported Specification: MIPI specifications for the RFFE v1.0.0a, v1.10a, v2.0, v2.1, and v3.0.
