Accelerating the Development of TLM-2.0 Models Using Model Authoring Kits (MAKs)

Model authoring kits (MAKs) enable the rapid development of transaction-level models, TLMs, of a given functionality or protocol. MAKs include base functionalities that are common to all models independent of the RTL implementation in a well-structured way, allowing for maximum reuse. The DesignWare System-Level Library provides MAKs for UART and USB. Taking the example of a USB 2.0 EHCI controller model using MAKs, this paper explains the significant design time reduction that can be achieved.

Industry 1st CXL 4.0 Verification IP: Transforming AI and HPC Systems

Synopsys continues to lead innovation with the industry’s first commercially available CXL 4.0 Verification IP (VIP). This comprehensive solution supports the full 128 GT/s data rate, IO throttling, and streamlined port negotiation, equipping designers to validate and optimize their products for the future.

Low Power Analysis and Verification of Super Speed Inter-Chip (SSIC) IP

In our current work, we focus on the low power analysis and verification challenges and the methodology used to verify low power design. The power-gating feature that we term Hibernation brings in significant power savings to Synopsys SSIC IP Controller. The verification tests the functionality of the Controller before, during and after hibernation state. The low power analysis will showcase the power savings achieved in SSIC IP with and Without Hibernation.
