Overview

Cadence provides a mature and comprehensive Verification IP (VIP) for the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB) specification, which is part of the Arm® AMBA® family of protocols. Incorporating the latest protocol updates, the Cadence® Verification IP for APB 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 APB helps you reduce time to test, accelerate verification closure, and ensure end-product quality. Cadence provides a solution for interconnect verification that verifies the correctness and completeness of data. The VIP is compatible with the industry-standard Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) and runs on all leading simulators.

Supported specifications: AMBA 2 APB, AMBA 3 APB, AMBA 4 APB, AMBA 5 APB issue D and E.

Cadence Expands Sovereign AI in Europe: From Chips to AI Factories

To bring computing scale and regional data control together, Cadence is expanding its sovereign AI data center in Munich, becoming the first electronic design automation (EDA)opens in a new tab vendor to deliver a comprehensive sovereign AI platform for semiconductor, system, and AI factory design in Europe.

The Memory Challenge of Physical AI

As physical AI workloads become more complex, architects must now consider how predictably the complete system performs when multiple real-world workloads are active simultaneously.

PCI Express Security and TEE Integration, Part 1 - Establishing Trust

Protecting processor memory alone is no longer sufficient. The entire I/O path must become part of the trusted computing architecture. To address this challenge, PCI-SIG® has developed a suite of complementary security technologies, including Data Object Exchange (DOE), Component Measurement and Authentication (CMA), Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE), and the TEE Device Interface Security Protocol (TDISP).
