1 Challenge
Verify a single-channel 800G Ethernet MAC/PCS that also runs at lower rates, down to 100G, over eight SerDes lanes.
2 Approach
A dedicated four-engineer verification team took the configuration from start to delivery, building the UVM infrastructure, test suites, and coverage model.
3 Outcome
Verification delivered in 2.5 months. This is the highest rate in our delivered record.
4 Technical Scope
- 800G aggregate scaling down to 100G
- 8 SerDes lanes at 100/50/25G
- 1 channel architecture
