Ethernet 400G Verification IP for next-gen comms

As the need for increased bandwidth to support video-on-demand, social networking and cloud services continues to rise, Synopsys VC VIP for Ethernet 400G enables system-on-chip (SoC) teams to design next generation networking chips for data centres with ease of use and integration, resulting in accelerated verification closure and time to market.

Synopsys VC VIP for Ethernet uses a native SystemVerilog Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) architecture, protocol aware debug and source code test suites. Synopsys VC VIP is capable of switching speed configurations dynamically at run time and includes a customisable set of frame generation and error injection capabilities. In addition, source code UNH-IOL test suites are also available for key Ethernet features and clauses, allowing teams to quickly jumpstart their own custom testing and speed-up verification time.

“Synopsys is committed to providing a comprehensive Ethernet solution for all speeds, including 25G, 40G, 50G, 100G and the newest 400G standards,” said Vikas Gautam, Group Director of VIP R&D and corporate applications for the Synopsys Verification Group. “Working through our close collaborations with SoC industry leaders, we continue to expand our next generation Verification IP solutions across all standard protocols.”
