eInfochips improves reliability for automotive components with CAN 2.0 Verification IP

Introduces CAN 2.0 VIP with reusable ISO/DIS 16845 compliance suite, reduces SOC and ASIC test development time by 80%

Ahmedabad -- October 14, 2014 -- eInfochips, a leading engineering R&D services and solutions company has announced the availability of the CAN 2.0 Verification IP (VIP) to improve reliability of automotive telemetry and control. The eInfochips CAN 2.0 VIP is a plug-and-play solution for robust and standards compliant devices (FPGA, ASIC and SoC implementation) on automotive and industrial applications. Combined with the reusable ISO/DIS 16845 compliance suite, the solution will accelerate test cycles by up to 80%, while improving the test confidence.

Parag Mehta, the Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer at eInfochips said, “We are committed to bring performance and confidence to the next generation of Automotive SOCs. The CAN 2.0 VIP will eliminate corner-case failures to improve road safety and automobile reliability.”

CAN (Controller Area Network) is the ISO-11898 bus standard designed to allow devices to communicate with each other without a host computer. CAN bus is a message-based protocol, designed specifically for automotive applications but now also used in other areas such as aerospace, maritime, industrial automation and medical equipment.

eInfochips CANBUS 2.0 VIP

The eInfochips CAN 2.0 VIP is available on System Verilog for integration into custom verification environments, and also on leading verification methodologies – OVM, VMM and UVM. The VIP supports functional coverage for checkers to ensure the IP/RTL behaviour is continuously monitored. For faster debug cycles, eInfochips CAN 2.0 VIP has features such as TRANCASTION TRACKER and BANDWIDTH MONITOR.

The verification IP currently supports CAN 2.0 A, CAN 2.0 B, and CAN 2.0 AB. Support for CAN FD 1.0 and TTCAN is planned for Dec 2014. The complete feature set and specifications data sheet can be found here.
