Cadence Introduces the EDA Industry’s First Verification Solution for PCI Express 3.0

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. announced it has developed Open Verification Methodology (OVM)-based verification IP (VIP) to assist developers working with the emerging PCI Express Base Specification 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) interconnect protocol, which is currently under development within the PCI-SIG at a preliminary revision 0.5. The new Cadence Incisive® VIP features the Cadence Compliance Management System, a metric-driven verification solution that automates protocol compliance verification and can help early PCIe 3.0 adopters meet quality and time-to-market goals.

”The PCI-SIG PCIe 3.0 specification doubles the interconnect performance bandwidth of the ubiquitous and general-purpose PCI Express I/O standard,” said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG president and chairman. “Cadence's continued support will expedite the industry adoption of this new technology.”

“The delivery of this new verification IP underscores Cadence’s commitment to providing valuable verification assistance to developers working with emerging protocols,” said Michal Siwinski, group director of Front End Marketing at Cadence. “As one of the most advanced offerings in our VIP catalog, the PCIe 3.0 module provides advanced verification technology for developers working with the latest protocols, shortening development time, increasing team productivity, and reducing overall project costs.”

The Cadence Incisive Verification IP Portfolio supports more than 30 industry standards and has been available since Q3 2008. The new VIP for PCIe 3.0 is available now for early adoptors, and is expected to be released in Q1 2010.
