Post Silicon Validation
Delivering turnkey & functionally accurate SOCs on robust validation & emulations
Overview
Qualifying designed SOCs on benchmarked practices
Over the years, Tessolve has built a robust expertise in pre and post-silicon validation and emulation, including robust system characterization practices, system debugging, and FPGA prototyping. Our expertise in validating analog, digital, and mixed-signal SOCs ensures seamless hardware-software integration, performance metrics, and compliance with industry standards across multiple operating conditions and use cases.
Validation Services
Adept in meeting multiple
validation requirements
Functional Validation
Tessolve is a reliable partner for the complete verification of all chip functionalities across different operating modes and conditions. This includes testing core features, interfaces, and peripherals to verify functionality against design specifications.
Characterization
Our advanced characterization helps validate the electrification and functional parameters of chips. This means SoC meets specified performance targets, power budgets, and reliability requirements across its operational range.
System Debugging
The in-house debugging process at Tessolve banks on advanced debug tools and methodologies and system engineers analyzing signal integrity, timing violations, protocol compliance, and interactions for optimal system performance.
Emulation Services
Meticulously designed simulations mimic the target SoC, enabling the early validation of system-level functionality, performance, and power characteristics. This helps uncover design issues well before silicon bring-up
Test Case Development & Execution
Our engineers create targeted test scenarios covering all use cases and operating conditions. These test cases are executed on the physical silicon samples using automated test frameworks, providing detailed reports on the device’s compliance.
