DEMONSTRATION DESCRIPTIONS: –
- Synopsys Booth #1: Synopsys DesignWare Digital IP for PCI Express 3.0 This demonstration incorporates the DesignWare IP for PCI Express 3.0 to create designs for a PCI Express 3.0 root complex and endpoint. These two designs are connected via a backplane and a logic analyzer is used to verify the PCI Express 3.0 traffic running at 8GT/s between the two devices. Synopsys’ DesignWare Verification IP for PCI Express 3.0, Synopsys’ VCS Verification Solution, and LeCroy’s SimPASS PE Analysis Tool The demonstration utilizes the DesignWare Verification IP for PCI Express 3.0 to test a design with a PCI Express 3.0 interface. Using the simulation results from VCS®, the LeCroy SimPASS PE analysis tool is used to display and analyze the PCI Express 3.0 traffic to eliminate potential flaws in the data and transaction packets from the I/O stream. This allows developers to more thoroughly test and debug the logic design prior to going to silicon.
- LeCroy Booth #2: LeCroy and Synopsys Showcase PCI Express 3.0 Interoperability Through a design-under-test (DUT) that uses the DesignWare IP for PCI Express 3.0, this demonstration utilizes the LeCroy’s Summit T3-16 Protocol Analyzer, Summit Z3-16 Protocol Exerciser and the Summit Z3-16 Test Platform to test a PCI Express 3.0-based design for compliance to the current PCI Express 3.0 specification.
- Agilent Booth #8: Agilent and Synopsys Enable PCI Express 3.0 Ecosystem Based on a DUT that implements the DesignWare IP for PCI Express 3.0, this demonstration uses Agilent’s complete test solution for PCI Express 3.0 and the Digital Test Console to check for compliance to the PCI Express 3.0 specification.
