Accelerate Designs based upon SuperSpeed USB

Newark, CA, Nov. 17, 2008: nSys Design Systems, the developer of the world’s largest portfolio of Verification IPs announced today the availability of FREE Evaluation licenses of its USB 3.0 Verification Suite. The Evaluation license will also help increase the users’ understanding of the SuperSpeed USB technology. The USB 3.0 nVS FREE Evaluation license is available to qualified users.

SuperSpeed USB is the next iteration of USB that improves link speed up to 5 Gbps while providing compatibility to earlier generation USB devices. The USB 3.0 nVS accelerates the adoption of the SuperSpeed USB standard. The nVS helps find bugs before the design is implemented in silicon and is a key component of the verification environment for USB 3.0 based designs.

“Verification IP providers, such as nSys, are an important part of the chip development ecosystem and play an important role in ensuring industry wide interoperability for standards based technology,” said Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF president and chairman. “Adopters of SuperSpeed USB technology will benefit from the availability of Verification Suite from nSys that helps designers build SuperSpeed USB solutions.”

“Our USB 3.0 nVS is built upon the widely accepted and proven Verification IPs for PCI Express and USB 2.0,” said Atul Bhatia, CEO of nSys Design Systems. “Our customers will benefit tremendously from the verification of the USB 3.0 specification. They will be able to identify non-compliance to the standard very easily because of availability of Test Suites in the nSys Verification Suite.”
