Overview

I2S Verification IP for your IP, SoC, and system-level design testing.

The Cadence® Verification IP (VIP) for I2S library is a ready-made, highly configurable VIP for the I2S protocol. It allows tests to be run in a pure simulation environment. It provides a highly capable compliance verification solution that supports simulation, formal analysis, and hardware acceleration platforms, making it applicable to intellectual property (IP), system-on-chip (SoC), and system-level verification. The VIP for I2S is compatible with the industry-standard Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) and runs on all leading simulators.

Supported Specification: I2S Specification - Philips Semiconductors.
