Active Technology Co. Ltd.

Logic verification takes more than 70% of effort by RTL sign off. Although they put the biggest effort in the verification, functional bug is still the No1 reason of re-spin. It is clear that traditional verification methodology used from 1990s is not practical to solve the problem anymore. Active Technology was founded in 2006 and focuses on how to solve the problem since the foundation. Active Technology provides high quality verification IPs as well as professional verification services. The verification IPs utilizes industry standard SystemVerilog language and OVM methodology. The IPs are based on random verification methodology. It finds corner case bugs which is difficult to find by the traditional approach. The IPs improves both verification quality and productivity. Active Technology has already developed and put AMBA bus IPs; AHB, AXI and APB in market.

CoFluent Design

CoFluent Design helps hardware designers answer the following question: - How to specify a hardware component and validate its specification? CoFluent Studio allows designers to create executable specifications of an IC by modeling its functionality and use cases using simple yet powerful graphical notations. Graphics are used to describe blocks, data and control flows. Algorithms are defined with ANSI C code and given an execution time budget (number of cycles). Simulations are driven by use cases for validating the model behavior and time properties. The automatic SystemC TLM code generation allows reuse of IC and use case models for integration and simulation into Questa. The generated SystemC test case can be used as testbench for validating the RTL implementation in Questa.

Correct Designs, Inc.

Correct Designs offers verification training, consulting, and contracting services to semiconductor and EDA companies.

Free Model Foundry

Free Model Foundry (FMF) advances the development and free distribution of open source VHDL and Verilog models of electronic components for system and IC design around the world. Our Open Source Model Warehouse promotes widespread sharing of functional and timing simulation models to help solve one of the biggest problems in chip and system design: finding accurate, usable component models. The availability of these models allows system designers to design and verify new digital electronic products more quickly and at lower cost than the previous methodology of build, test, debug, and build again. The result is faster time to market and more revenue for the systems house. It also means earlier component sales for the IC manufacturers. Models found on this site are written in a uniform style to make them easy to read. They are at the behavior level of abstraction so they will execute quickly and efficiently. Timing values are external to the models allowing them to represnt multiple technologies and speed grades without being modified or recompiled.

GateRocket, Inc.

GateRocket provides design verification tools that reduce development time for Xilinx and Altera FPGAs. Its Device Native® approach enables the RocketDrive® system to provide significantly faster and more accurate desktop design simulations, reducing overall verification time by 50% or more.

Lauterbach GmbH

Today, fast and efficient software development is often the decisive factor in the launching of new products. To avoid having to wait for the first hardware prototypes at the start of the development phase, Virtual Prototypes (software models of the hardware) from Synopsys® are becoming increasingly common. As soon as a Virtual Prototype is available for the target hardware, work can start on debugging the drivers, the operating system, and the application. So that we can offer our customers the professional development environment TRACE32® PowerView in this early phase of their project, Lauterbach has been supporting the debugging of software models for Synopsys® Virtual Prototypes since 2007 with a special API. TRACE32® Powerview is the widely used Debugger IDE for the well known TRACE32® JTAG-Debuggers.

Solid Oak Technologies

Solid Oak is a provider of productivity tools for Assertion Based Verification (ABV) methodologies. Solid Oak's innovative graphical entry tools allow architects and designers to capture design intent in the form of flow and timing diagrams early in the process during the specification phase. These diagrams are automatically converted to functional assertions to reduce generation time and eliminate the errors of manual entry. The Flow Chart to Assertions tool, FC2Assert, is a Microsoft Visio add-on which automatically converts functional flow diagrams drawn with the provided stencil into coverage assertions. Sequence assertions are also extracted from flow diagrams created with multiple states. The Timing Diagram to Assertions tool, TD2Assert, is a Microsoft Visio add-on which converts timing diagrams drawn with the provided stencil into coverage assertions and sequences.

Vennsa Technologies

Vennsa OnPoint™ is the industry's first and only automated debugging tool that localizes the source of errors without user guidance. Today, engineers have few tools to aid them with their debugging needs. Waveform viewers, navigation aids, visualization tools, and built-in debug features require manual intervention and provide no automation. OnPoint offers a remarkable breakthrough in error localization. Once verification fails, OnPoint uses proprietary technology to automatically return the root cause of errors in the RTL, assertions or assumptions. With OnPoint, there is no more the need for manually tracing signals, performing "what if" analysis, and annotating values in the source code as the tool performs these tasks automatically. With manual debugging taking more than half of the verification effort, OnPoint improves productivity dramatically , it saves weeks or months of effort and it guarantees faster design closure. OnPoint helps engineers quickly identify the root cause of errors and remove the bugs. OnPoint picks up where formal verification tools leave-off. Provides automatic root cause analysis and categorizes the bugs in RTL, assumption and assertion suspects. It improves productivity, saves weeks or months of effort and guarantees faster design closure.

Verification Technology

Vtech is providing a variety of verification services and solutions. Based on the requirement specifications, Vtech provides documents for the verification specifications, develops the verification environment and performs the RTL functional testing. Vtech's own Verification IP can be used in a wide range of chips, from ordinary ASICs to large-scale SOCs. As a verification specialist, Vtech uses its own technique to elaborate verification documents.

Description of services:

  1. Consulting Verification strategy, Verification technique
  2. Development of verification environment SystemVerilog, SystemC or HDL (Verilog-HDL and VHDL) Custom environment
  3. Verification IP(Module I/F based on OVM methodology) VSTAR for Simulation, PCI-ex and Ethernet are prepared as a lineup of VSTAR.

We developed USB3.0 device emulation system VITIS-EM which was subsidized by METI(Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). VITIS-EM will make you possible to develop USB3.0 system prototypes or USB3.0 host software without real USB3.0 devices.

Verifore Inc.

The verification experts know best!

Verifore is a leading verification services company, specializing in state of the art verification methodologies such as constrained random verification (CRV) and coverage based verification (CBV). Verifore provides total verification planning, testbench development, simulation, and coverage closure. Our focus is on verification automation to improve verification productivity, which comprises object-oriented reusable verification environment, Verification IP (VIP), and in-house tools.

Our Verification IP (VIP) is entirely written in SystemVerilog and optimized for the verification methodologies Questa supports. Verifore provides the industry standard protocol VIP such as AXI, AHB and DDR, as well as generic VIP for scoreboard, memory management andn performance analysis. We also develop customer specific VIP if required. Every VIP offers consistent, easy to use, high perfomance user experience.

Our verification engineers have 10 to 20 years of design and verification experience ranging from Implementation IP field to reconfigurable array processors. Our wide range of verification background guarantees that our customers will receive worthwhile verification services.

Give designers more time to design. We do verification.
