Local Interconnect Network (LIN) is a single-wire, serial communication protocol based on the UART interface that is gaining popularity as a sub-bus standard in the automotive industry. LIN Verification IP are reusable components that provide ready made verification environment. Compatible with Local Interconnect Network (LIN) specifications versions 1.3,2.0,2,1,2.2A, ISO 17987-3 and ISO 17987-6. Supports all the frame types such as Unconditional, Event-triggered, Sporadic, Diagnostic and Reserved frames.
LIN 2.2A Verification IP includes an extensive test suite covering most of the possible scenarios. It can perform all protocal tests and moreover it allows an easy generation of very high number of patterns and a set of specified patterns to stress the DUT.
LIN Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
LIN Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
