AMBA CHI VIP
Simulation
Overview

SmartDV’s AMBA CHI Verification IP is built to verify high-performance, cache-coherent interconnects in advanced SoC designs through simulation. Fully compliant with the AMBA CHI protocol specification, it enables accurate and efficient validation of scalable, high-throughput system architectures.

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, ensuring flexibility across verification environments.

With configurable requester and completer agents, integrated protocol checkers, scoreboards, and detailed coverage metrics, SmartDV’s AMBA CHI VIP accelerates testbench development and ensures protocol compliance. It helps verification teams confidently validate coherent interconnects in data center, networking, automotive, and AI/ML SoC applications.
