Communication protocol is most important interface in AMBA architecture because it is working as a bridge between high frequency block and low frequency block. AHB protocol is one of the main protocol in this architecture. It is used to connect high frequency block, which is working in high speed to bridge. AHB-lite protocol is advanced version of AHB protocol. In AHB-lite protocol, we are reducing the size of design by removing the arbiter technique. Verification will check whether design has achieved specification or not, with particular implementation and functionality to Design Under Test (DUT). By developing the reusable Verification Intellectual Property (VIP) using hardware verification language (System Verilog), communication interconnect i.e. AHB LITE (Advanced High Performance Bus) interconnect is verified. The AHB LITE is the on-chip-interconnect, which manages the functional block in SoC design and develops lossless communication between master and each slave in the SoC design. Using the QUESTA SIM tool, it also finds the presence of error/bug in the design by generating simulation result and the coverage report.
