Synopsys DesignWare® AMBA® Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) Verification IP (VIP) provides a quick and efficient way to verify AMBA AXI-based SoC designs by bringing advanced techniques for more productive verification. AMBA AXI technology enhances the existing AMBA specification providing a protocol that has been designed to meet the needs of ultra-high-performance and complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Supporting register-sliced signaling and out-of-order burst transactions, the AMBA AXI interface technology significantly improves intra-chip data transfers. The DesignWare AMBA AXI VIP includes the following components: AXI Master, AXI Slave, AXI Monitor, AXI Interconnect and a SystemClock Controller.

"Developing the [USB] IP internally was never an option for us because it is not our core competency. Compared to other IP vendors we evaluated, Synopsys DesignWare USB 2.0 nanoPHY was 30% lower in area and up to 15% lower in power. It was one of the smallest PHYs we found. "
