  • Analog/Mixed-Signal extensions to Verilog (Verilog-AMS)
  • Analog/Mixed-Signal extensions to SystemC™
  • Configuration, Control and Inspection (CCI) standards for exchanging information between SystemC models and tools
  • IP Tagging for data-driven tracking of soft IP
  • IP-XACT™ metadata standard for IP integration
  • Open Verification Library (OVL) assertion library
  • Standard for Co-Emulation Modeling Interface (SCE-MI)
  • Synthesizable subset of SystemC
  • SystemC language standard
  • SystemC Verification (SCV) library
  • Transaction Level Modeling (TLM) standards for modeling systems based on memory-mapped busses in SystemC
  • Unified Coverage Interoperability Standard (UCIS) for verification coverage interoperability
  • Universal Verification Methodology (UVM™) standard
