Mentor Graphics Expands Questa Multi-View Verification Components Library to Support a Larger Set of Standard Protocols

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced that
the quickly-growing library of Questa® Multi-view Verification
Components (MVCs) has been expanded to support additional industry
standard protocols: Ethernet up to 40G/100G (IEEE P802.3ba, draft
2.1), USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 and DDR2 (double data rate SDRAM
interface). The Questa MVC library dramatically improves
verification coverage, and helps speed the functional verification
of integrated circuits (ICs) using industry-standard protocols.
Mentor’s Questa MVCs allow designers to avoid the pain and
expense of creating and supporting their own verification IP for
system-level, TLM-level and RTL-level verification. With Questa
MVCs, the verification team is able to connect to any level of
abstraction from system to gates – ensuring consistent model
behavior and giving the verification team more options to improve
performance and increase coverage. The Questa MVC technology also
greatly reduces the labor-intensive and error-prone manual
interpretation of signal activity. This allows simulation results,
from RTL verification, to be viewed as sequences of initiated
transactions and responses, with the RTL signal activity correlated
to a higher level transaction view of activity.
Each protocol supported by the Questa MVC library includes a
verification plan with full coverage metrics that integrates with
the Questa verification management system. The verification plan
easily integrates into hierarchical full-chip verification plans.
Questa verification management provides visibility into the status
of the verification process by providing correlation of coverage
metrics to the verification plan.
“The MVC library fully supports OVM 2.0 with stimulus
generation, reference checking, monitoring and functional coverage
for popular protocols,” said Stephen Bailey, director of product
marketing for the Design Verification Technology division of
Mentor. “The advantage of Questa MVCs is that teams using
a coverage-driven verification process such as the one supported by
Questa can easily include the protocol verification
plan in the comprehensive, hierarchical verification
plan.”
Availability
Questa MVC support for Ethernet up to 40G/100G, USB 2.0 and USB
3.0 and DDR2 is available immediately.
Questa Functional Verification Platform
The Questa functional verification platform combines high
performance and high capacity with the most comprehensive
verification capabilities in the industry. Assertion-based
Verification (ABV), intelligent testbench automation, Multi-view
Verification Components (MVC), and Coverage-driven Verification
(CDV) are supported natively by the Questa platform’s
high-performance assertion engine; a modern, high-performance
constraint solver; and extensive functional coverage features,
including verification management leveraging the Unified Coverage
Database (UCDB). Verification of low- power design functionality
can be proven in an RTL environment with power-aware functional
verification. This full set of advanced verification functionality
is enabled by a flexible Open Verification Methodology (OVM 2.0)
that delivers unrivaled language and feature support in any design
and verification flow.
