SuperSpeed USB Products Tested to Work with Mentor Graphics Questa Verification
Platform
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Santa Clara-based Perfectus Technology, the leading provider of Verification
IPs, today announced the availability of SuperSpeed USB Verification IP (VIP)
product based on the USB 3.0 protocol. This is the industry`s first
SystemVerilog-based OVM compliant SuperSpeed USB VIP with a very sophisticated
Verification Engine which will help in accelerating the SuperSpeed USB-based
IP/FPGA/ASIC/SOC/Silicon verification cycle with higher reliability and greater
assurance. The SuperSpeed USB VIP was tested to work in the Mentor Graphics
Questa® Verification Platform. 

"Perfectus SuperSpeed USB Verification IP simplifies the job of the verification
engineer by eliminating the time consuming test plan and test case writing
process with the SuperSpeed USB Compliance Test Suite & Comprehensive Test Suite
component," said Sheetal Kammaje, Marketing Manager of Perfectus. "Perfectus VIP
truly helps with the automation of manual verification tasks and empowers
Verification engineers to efficiently perform their testing and debug activities
so they can focus on making the product bug-free in the least amount of time." 

The built-in intelligent Bus Functional Models helps with all kinds of packet
and transaction generation. The Verification Engine component automates directed
and random test generation with a powerful Error injector, Knobs, APIs and
Callbacks help create the most difficult corner case tests while the checker and
monitor help track the protocol violations and log transactions. The Assertion
and Coverage point components measure the completeness of testing. 

The unique feature of this product is the reports generated by the
Genie-Interface-Inspector, which provides reports about the functional coverage
inspection report which helps to identify what functionality has been tested,
Error Inspection report that specifies the errors that were tested and errors
that were not tested, protocol compliance inspection report that show the
percent of spec compliance, and features that were tested data as well. 

"Verification teams benefit from a vibrant OVM and SystemVerilog community for
the supply of independent verification IP and services," said Dennis Brophy,
director of strategic business development, Mentor Graphics Corporation. "Mentor
