AMBA ACE AIP
Formal Verification
Overview

SmartDV’s AMBA ACE Assertion IP delivers comprehensive and robust formal verification coverage for the AMBA ACE (AXI Coherency Extensions) protocol, ensuring your complex SoC designs meet stringent protocol compliance and functional correctness requirements. These pre-validated assertions are crafted to detect design violations and protocol-level errors early in the verification cycle, significantly reducing costly downstream bugs.

Engineered for maximum flexibility, this Assertion IP is fully independent of any specific formal verification tool and is compatible with all leading EDA vendors, enabling seamless integration into your existing verification environment. Delivered as synthesizable and configurable source code, it allows easy customization and reuse across multiple projects.

By adopting our AMBA ACE Assertion IP, verification teams can accelerate formal verification efforts, improve design quality, and achieve faster time-to-market—all while leveraging a vendor-neutral, scalable solution tailored to AMBA ACE protocol standards.
