Post-Silicon Validation

Thorough & Fast

From Startup to Industry Leader

Functional, Protocol Compliance & Power Validation of First-Pass Silicon

          At Avecas, our Post-Silicon Validation services bridge RTL simulation and volume production—validating that fabricated silicon matches design intent across all functional modes, performance corners, and protocol compliance requirements.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Comprehensive Protocol Compliance
    PCIe Gen4/5, USB 3.x/4, DDR4/5, LPDDR4/5, CXL 2.0/3.0, Ethernet 1G–8.00G, MIPI, and HDMI/DisplayPort with certified test suites.

  • Power Validation Depth
    Per-domain active and leakage current, DVFS characterisation, sleep/wake latency, and thermal power—compared against pre-silicon estimates.

  • RTL-to-Silicon Correlation
    We root-cause discrepancies using JTAG, embedded trace (ETM/ITM), logic analysers, and protocol analysers.

Crafted for Real-World Success

Our post-silicon capabilities span functional coverage, protocol compliance, performance characterisation, power validation, and debug correlation—all under one expert team.

Functional Coverage

Directed and pseudo-random functional test execution with coverage tracking against simulation regression and silicon-specific test development.

Protocol Compliance

Interface compliance for PCIe, USB, DDR, CXL, Ethernet, MIPI, and DisplayPort using certified test suites from Keysight, Tektronix, and Spirent.

Performance Characterisation

CPU/GPU IPC measurement, memory bandwidth, SerDes BER sweeping, and power/performance characterisation across voltage and frequency corners.

Power Validation

Active and leakage current per power domain, DVFS validation, sleep/wake latency profiling, and thermal power vs pre-silicon budget.

Inside Avecas Post-Silicon Validation

Post-silicon validation bridges pre-silicon simulation and volume production, confirming that fabricated silicon matches design intent across every functional mode, performance corner, and protocol-compliance requirement. It is where real hardware behaviour is measured, characterised, debugged, and signed off for production.

Functional & Compliance Coverage

We execute directed and pseudo-random functional tests with coverage tracking against simulation goals, and run interface compliance for PCIe Gen4/5, USB 3.x/4, DDR4/5 and LPDDR4/5, CXL 2.0/3.0, Ethernet (1G to 800G), MIPI, and HDMI/DisplayPort using certified suites and protocol analysers from Keysight, Tektronix, and Spirent, including eye-diagram and link-training verification.

Performance & Power Characterisation

Characterisation covers CPU/GPU IPC, memory bandwidth and latency, SerDes bit-error-rate sweeps, and power/performance shmoo across voltage, frequency, and temperature. Power validation measures active and leakage current per domain, DVFS operating points, sleep/wake latency, and thermal power against pre-silicon estimates.

Debug & Design Feedback

Discrepancies are root-caused using JTAG, embedded trace (ETM/ITM), logic analysers, and protocol analysers, then fed back to design for ECO or next-revision fixes, closing the loop between intent and silicon.

  • Coverage tracking from RTL simulation to silicon
  • Certified protocol compliance, eye-diagram, and interoperability
  • Shmoo and corner characterisation for sign-off
  • Structured debug and root-cause reporting

You receive validated, characterised silicon and a clear record of every issue found and resolved.

We also provide bring-up-to-validation continuity, reusing the debug infrastructure and golden configurations established during silicon bring-up, and deliver a validation report mapping each tested feature and corner to its pass/fail evidence for production sign-off.

Everything You Need to Know
About Avecas Post-Silicon Validation Services

Post-silicon validation questions arise at every first silicon milestone. Here are answers to the most common questions our customers ask when planning their validation strategy.

Post-silicon validation confirms that fabricated silicon matches design intent across all functional modes, performance corners, and protocol-compliance requirements. It bridges pre-silicon simulation and volume production, finding bugs that only appear on real hardware.
