The PCI/PCI-X Verificatgion IP allows designers to test their design for proper operation and compliance to the PCI Local Bus specification or PCI-X Addendum. The model can be used to quickly create a virtual PCI or PCI-X system around a design. The PCI/PCI-X Verification IP features a complete set of high commands and enables extensive testing to ensure that your design is compliant to the latest PCI and PCI-X specification. The verification IP includes a bus Master, a bus Slave and a monitor that can be controled from Verilog, VHDL, Vera® or C in all major simulators. The Verification IP is available to all DesignWare® or DesignWare Verification Library licensees.

"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. "
