Design Verification
By working closely with our clients, we are able to construct custom-made test benches that verify the operation of their designs against their design requirements. This process involves the following services.
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Analyzing and reviewing design requirements and/or specifications for completeness, testability, and traceability.
TEST BENCH INTEGRATION & TESTING
We purchase, integrate, and test elements of the test bench. Elements may include COTS equipment, bench test equipment, measurement tool, or programmable equipment like our Total Verification System. We integrate these elements together into a unified environment that is controlled by the test software. A certification procedure is developed that validates the proper operation of the test bench.
IP CORE DEVELOPMENT
We develop the IP cores and software needed to implement the test bench. Each IP core is fully documented and revision controlled.
TEST BENCH ARCHITECTURE
We will architect a test bench for simulation and lab testing that is capable of verifying your requirements using automated, self-checking directed and random-constrained tests.
TEST BENCH DOCUMENTATION
We provide thorough documentation that fully describes the capability, use, and operation of the test bench.
TEST BENCH ARCHITECTURE
Using design requirements and specifications, we compile a verification plan that describes exactly how the functionality of the client's design will be tested by the test bench. Care is taken to clearly show the traceability of each requirement and design feature to a test.
LONG-TERM TECHNICAL SUPPORT
After the test bench is delivered and verification is complete, we continue to provide technical support whether late-phase design changes are needed, or latent bugs are found.
Design Review
For mature projects that need independent reviewers, Ingenion offers design review services.

Have Ingenion review your FPGA design and verification documents including requirements, specifications, verification documents, and analysis reports. We will perform a code walk-through to offer useful tips and experience-based advice.
FPGA Designs
Perhaps the most valuable reviews are the ones performed early in the design phase because that's when designers are open to changes and suggestions. Ingenion can review your initial draft synthesizable RTL code, verification code, design flow, or FPGA architecture.
