AMBA APB VIP
Simulation
Overview

SmartDV’s AMBA APB Verification IP is designed to verify low-bandwidth peripheral interfaces within SoC architectures using simulation. Fully compliant with the AMBA APB protocol specification, it enables accurate and efficient validation of simple, non-pipelined register-based communication.

The VIP supports major verification languages, including SystemVerilog and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly with methodologies such as UVM, OVM, and VMM. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA vendors’ simulators, providing flexibility across diverse verification setups.

With configurable master and slave agents, integrated protocol checkers, scoreboards, and comprehensive coverage, SmartDV’s AMBA APB VIP accelerates testbench development and ensures protocol compliance. It is ideal for verifying control register access and other peripheral-level communication in consumer, automotive, and industrial applications.
