Silicon Interfaces announces IEEE 1394 eVC (e Verification Component)

CAMPBELL, Calif., 26 th October, 2005 - Silicon Interfaces, a high-end design services and leading provider for IP’s in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, under their IP Development Program - Silicon Cores: Core to the Intelligent Systems™, today announced the availability of IEEE 1394 eVC (e Verification Component). The SI70FWeVC11, IEEE 1394 eVC increases the portfolio of Silicon Interfaces Verification Components.

Silicon Interfaces’ IEEE 1394 eVC (e Verification Component) is fully documented, off the shelf component for Verisity’s Specman Elite TM functional verification environment. The IEEE 1394 -1995 link layer controller (from now on referred to only as 1394) provides connectionless acknowledged data transfer services between a source node and destination node where node is an addressable device attached to the serial bus with at least a minimum set of control registers.

The eVC supports IEEE 1394 PHY specification at the Physical side and Transaction Layer specification at the Host side. Data transmission can be configured to be at 100, 200 or 400 Mbps and can also be configured to be asynchronous or isochronous transaction

SI70FWeVC11 - IEEE 1394 eVC Product Highlights:

• Fully compliant with the IEEE 1394 specifications
• Totally configurable, as per user requirements
• Can operate at 100 Mbps, 200Mbps and 400 Mbps
• Supports IEEE 1394 PHY interface at Physical side and Application, Transaction layer and Serial Bus Manager features at the Host side
• Can be configured to be in root and non-root mode to check generation and reception of cycle start packet
• Random generation of Asynchronous and Isochronous data packets
• Covers all types of transaction
