An Update on the UVM-AMS Standard in Accellera

Presented at DVCon Europe 2021
Session T1.4
Based on various discussions with user companies, it was established that there was a strong interest in the standardization of UVM-AMS. An Accellera Proposed Working Group (PWG) and then a Working Group (WG) were formed, based on Accellera Board of Directors’ recommendation, with a charter to develop a standard that will provide a unified analog/mixed-signal verification methodology based on UVM, with major focus on transient analysis.
The UVM-AMS standard will provide a comprehensive and unified analog/mixed-signal verification methodology based on UVM to improve analog mixed signal (AMS) and digital mixed signal (DMS) verification of integrated circuits and systems. This will encourage support by tool and IP providers, offering ready-to-use analog/mixed-signal verification IP that can be integrated easily into a UVM-AMS testbench. It will raise the productivity and quality of analog/mixed-signal verification across projects and applications, thanks to the reuse of proven verification components, and stimuli.
In this workshop, the WG would share the findings, requirements and ideas collected so far and the next step plan for the standardization and would like to receive feedback from the analog/mixed-signal verification community. The UVM-AMS tutorial will also share the latest standardization and technology developments as (being) published in the Accellera UVM-AMS whitepaper.
