Achieving Highest, Certified IP Quality Efficiently (EEtimes article)

The article describes from the perspective of an IP provider the verification of a configurable network processor – called PPv2 – using OneSpin's 360 MV. It explains the details of this verification project and how the following results were achieved:
  • error-free functional operation of the PPv2 across all possible configurations
  • a verification report that certifies the achieved IP quality and enables rapid IP quality assessment
  • a complete description of integration conditions for the IP
  • a considerably improved specification
  • no IP revision or redesign has been necessary since release
  • a total verification effort of 4 engineer-months, about 40% less than that in the simulation-based verification of PPv1
