STMicroelectronics uses Cadence VCC methodology
STMicroelectronics has selected the Cadence Virtual Component Co-Design (VCC) for both its automotive and digital consumer platform system-level design methodology and design flow.
The STMicroelectronics Nomadik family of multimedia application processor chips enables portable devices to play music, take pictures, record video and host two-way video communication in real-time.
Many of ST's latest networking designs include ARM-based cores and use the internal STBus for much of the underlying infrastructure.
To improve ease of use and adoption, ST developed a complementary verification cockpit, using Cadence technology for plug-and-play verification capabilities.
The cockpit allowed the design team to run verification cycles in simulation, implement verification IP and gather and measure coverage progress in a push-button fashion.
As a result, ST gained tremendous time savings allowing them to quantify the overall quality of the verification.
Specman technology, as part of both Incisive Specman and Incisive Enterprise Simulator, offers advanced technology for testbench creation with the aspect-oriented coding capabilities on top of the language.
Incisive Enterprise Manager users can better automate the deployment of their testing, measure simulation runs, analyse failures and coverage data from several sources and control the steps toward system-level signoff.
With the massive amount of coverage data created throughout the verification of large networking devices these highly scalable coverage capabilities are becoming more critical.
