Operational Impact
The use of Cadence's Incisive verification technologies enabled RivieraWaves to successfully migrate from OVM to UVM for its next-generation Bluetooth 4.1 IP designs. This migration increased automation and enabled RivieraWaves to meet its customers’ time-to-market goals. The company was able to meet all its low-power requirements for the complex Bluetooth 4.X standard using the Cadence CPF flow. This allowed RivieraWaves to bring advanced power management design to its customers and speed up the integration of the design into customers’ chips. In the future, RivieraWaves plans to develop more functional coverage and virtual platform prototyping. The company has begun to evaluate Incisive Formal apps to bring more formal and assertion-based verification (ABV) tools and techniques into the automated process. | |
