Our customer is an established world leader in design and manufacturing of display image processors. They offer the highest quality image processing and video products to address new and emerging markets such as LCD TV, Digital TV and other consumer devices.

Technical Highlights:

This advanced technology is a single chip solution for digital television featuring

• Fully integrated, cost effective solution for Digital imaging
• Digital signal processing and display device
• The first digital audio, video processor with both PCI and Ethernet support
• A single low-power, low-cost chip implementation for Television
• Compatible with DVD, audio/video streams

eInfochips’ Role:

• Studying and planning for module and chip level verification
• Developing the verification components and building verification environment for different modules of the chip
• Developing test cases for different peripheral blocks called audio out, coded data input, Flash/1394 Host interface module
• Verifying the above blocks and helping designers in debugging.
• Developing tests for DVD bit streams (Transport Streams) and Broadcasting streams (Program Stream)
• Assembly programming for testing of DMA channel configuration, Memory controller and MIPS bootup/read/write operations
• Developing self-diagnostics test cases for efficient debugging on chip
• Contributing in chip and board level verification

How was this achieved:

eInfochips achieved the task with four ASIC design verification engineers over a duration of four months. The total effort was 16 man-months.

Conclusion:

The chip was successfully verified at block and chip level.
