Verification of baseband RF interface circuit based on UVM

Abstract

This paper based on the efficiency of UVM verification methodology,and combined with the characteristics of UVM reusability.In order to verify the function of baseband RF interface circuit,it need build hierarchical modular verification platform.The verification analysis show that baseband RF interface hardware circuit framework can be transplanted to UVM environment,which not only code coverage and functional coverage can be increased,but also the efficiency of verification can be substantially improved. At the same time,the hardware RTL is constrained by DC,which the area of receiving path of RF interface circuit is 0.3 mm2 and power consumption is 39 mW can be obtained. The area of transmission path of RF interface circuit is 0.5 mm2 and power consumption is 58 mW can be obtained.
