How to Test 800GE Chips Before Fabrication

+ IxVerify

Expose Design Issues Under Realistic Network Traffic

Networking system-on-chip (SoC) designs are growing to hundreds of ports and multi-terabit throughput while supporting data center, cloud, 5G, automotive, and artificial intelligence workloads. That scale increases the chance that hardware or software errors surface only when the design is stressed with realistic traffic, making late discovery expensive and disruptive to development schedules.

Verification teams therefore need to exercise critical traffic scenarios while the SoC is still running in emulation, not after fabrication. The test environment must drive realistic Ethernet traffic, scale across demanding port and throughput conditions, and make failures repeatable so engineers can isolate issues before the design moves into post-silicon system validation.

800GE Pre-Silicon Validation Solution

Validate an 800GE-capable SoC by connecting realistic Ethernet traffic to the design while it runs in pre-silicon emulation. IxVerify provides the virtual network test environment, while the Synopsys ZeBu emulator hosts the design under test. Together, the workflow lets verification teams stress hardware and software behavior with representative traffic scenarios before fabrication, reproduce failures under controlled conditions, and move more validation earlier in the lifecycle. This helps SoC verification and post-silicon system validation teams work from a more consistent test methodology as they prepare increasingly complex networking devices for real-world deployment.
