eInfochips Announces VMM-Enabled MIPI(R) CSI-2, DSI & HSI and SDIO
Verification IP for the Synopsys(R) DesignWare(R) Verification IP Alliance
Program

Reduce schedule risk through improved quality, scalability and predictability

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and AHMEDABAD, India, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- eInfochips
Ltd., a leading design services company today announced the availability of
Verification Methodology Manual (VMM)-enabled MIPI(R) CSI-2 (Camera Serial
Interface), DSI (Display Serial Interface), HSI (High Speed Synchronous
Interface) & SDIO Verification IP (VIP). The eInfochips VIP has also been
added to the Synopsys DesignWare(R) Verification IP Alliance Program. The
Alliance program gives designers access to a broader range of VMM-enabled
verification IP, which complements the DesignWare Verification IP portfolio.
Synopsys selected and qualified eInfochips for the Alliance program because of
its extensive experience in verification, VMM methodology and verification IP
development.

"eInfochips has been developing verification IP for many years and has seen an
increasing demand for VMM-enabled verification IP for MIPI standards," said
Sribash Dey, VP of Sales at eInfochips. "By working closely with Synopsys to
develop VIP that is in accordance with Synopsys' guidelines and VMM rating
tool, our mutual customers can have access to a wider range of VMM-enabled
verification IP that helps accelerate their verification process." 

"The addition of eInfochips' MIPI and SDIO VIP to the DesignWare VIP Alliance
Program further expands the broad range of VMM-enabled verification IP that is
complementary to the DesignWare portfolio," said John Koeter, vice president
of marketing for the Solutions Group at Synopsys. "With eInfochip's extensive
experience in VMM-enabled verification IP, designers can have confidence that
the verification IP can be easily integrated into SystemVerilog verification
environments, helping to speed testbench development efforts."

eInfochips' VMM-enabled MIPI CSI-2, DSI & HSI, and SDIO VIP products are based
on the layered architecture of object oriented programming that allows
coverage-driven verification suitable for verifying transmitter and receiver
with either of them as the design-under-test (DUT). 

MIPI CSI-2 VMM-Enabled Verification IP
eInfochips' VMM-enabled MIPI CSI-2 VIP is compliant to the CSI-2 MIPI
Specification version 1.0 and draft MIPI Alliance Standard for D-PHY Version
0.85.00. MIPI CSI-2 is an interface between a digital imaging module such as a
host processor and image sensor peripheral such as a camera. The VIP for the
MIPI CSI-2 interface can be configured as a Transmitter, Receiver or Monitor.
The 4 channel VMM-enabled MIPI CSI-2 VIP has fully configurable short and long
packets and supports RGB, YUV and RAW long packet data types and short pack
synchronization. The VIP supports directed/constrained/fully random testing
mode, monitors and checkers for protocol violations, coverage report
generation while allowing configurable transaction generation for each device
model.

MIPI DSI VMM-Enabled Verification IP
eInfochips' VMM-enabled MIPI DSI VIP is compliant to the DSI MIPI
Specification for Version 1.00 and draft MIPI Alliance Standard for D-PHY
Version 0.85.00. MIPI DSI is an interface between a digital imaging module
such as a host processor and display peripheral such as an LCD. The MIPI DSI
VIP can be configured as a Transmitter, Receiver or Monitor and allows system
level verification. It is a highly configurable, SystemVerilog verification IP
that supports 4 virtual channels, RGB color format for 16bit, 18bit & 24bit,
DCS read/write commands & generic write commands, interleaved and normal
frames, bidirectional data transfer and PPI control interface. The VIP
supports fully configurable fields of short and long packets, directed,
constrained and fully random testing, coverage report generation and command
mode of operation.

MIPI HSI VMM-Enabled Verification IP
eInfochips' MIPI HSI VMM-enabled VIP is compliant with the version 1.01.00
specification. MIPI HSI is an interface between an applications processor and
cellular modem. The MIPI HSI VIP can be used for system level verification of
DUT MIPI HSI transmitter and/or receiver and for functional coverage
generation. The highly configurable, VMM-enabled SystemVerilog verification
component supports synchronized/pipelined/receiver data flows and stream/frame
transmission modes. Other features of MIPI HSI VIP are error injection,
functional coverage, random as well as user-defined configuration and run-time
configurability. More information is available at
http://www.einfochips.com/services/asic/IP/mipi-hsi-vmm-ip.php

SDIO VMM-Enabled Verification IP
eInfochips' VMM-enabled SDIO HOST VIP allows coverage-driven verification and
can be configured as IO-aware or non IO-aware to verify SDIO card, SD memory
card, SD Combo card and SD Multimedia Card (MMC). The VIP is compliant to the
SD Host Specification 1.0, SD Specification 1.10 and 2.00 and to the SDIO
Specification 1.2. It offers support for single slot operation, card
detection, re-initialization of combo card, 1/4/8 bit SD bus mode and SPI bus
mode, low/full/high speed, stream transfer and direct command during data
transfer. The VIP also facilitates functional coverage, card
suspend/resume/lock/unlock operations, protocol and transaction level checking
and plug-and-play operations.
