Verisity and CyberTec Foster Verification Reuse
CyberTec Offers I2C eVC Developed Using Verisity's e Verification Language
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2001--Verisity,
Ltd. (Nasdaq:VRST - news), the leading provider of functional verification
automation, and CyberTec today announced the availability of an I2C
eVC(TM) (e Verification Component) developed through Verisity's
Verification Alliance Program(TM). eVCs are reusable plug-and-play
verification components for standard interfaces based on Verisity's
high-level verification language, e. The I2C eVC from CyberTec
contains all of the verification components for the I2C portion of a
design and dramatically cuts the time it takes to create the system's
verification environment.
"CyberTec has been a member of our Verification Alliance
consulting program from the beginning and we're delighted that they
are expanding their business model to include the development and
marketing of e verification components (eVCs)," said Dave Tokic,
director of strategic marketing for Verisity.
"With over 15 years of design and verification experience, the
last four years exclusively using Specman Elite(TM), we've seen the
necessity of a verification reuse strategy," said Hiroshi Nonoshita,
director of Engineering for CyberTec. "The strong market demand we've
experienced for Specman Elite-based verification consulting services
lead us to the development of standard off-the-shelf reusable
verification environments based on the e language. The components can
take advantage of the powerful constraint-driven random generation and
protocol checking engines within Specman Elite."
"We have used the I2C e code from CyberTec on several projects;
the latest being our Infiniband switch chip HDMP-2840 for which we
have working silicon," said Frank Chen, vice president of Engineering
at RedSwitch. "Quality and time-to-market are key for any organization
so being able to take advantage of off-the-shelf verification
components coupled with CyberTec's support and Specman Elite expertise
provided a significant return on investment for RedSwitch."
About I2C eVC
The I2C eVC is a configurable e verification environment suitable
for any device-under-test (DUT) that contains an I2C bus interface.
The I2C eVC includes I2C master and slave bus functional models, which
can emulate master and slave behavior. The I2C eVC supports the
generation and injection of bus traffic as a master with arbitration
for multi-master systems. Also the I2C eVC supports memory space as a
slave that can be allocated dynamically. This I2C eVC can be used for
a single I2C device (master and slave) and/or a system-level I2C
environment with several I2C devices.
The I2C eVC is available immediately on all platforms supported by
Verisity's Specman Elite.
