Case Study 2 | Ethernet Verification

800G Ethernet MAC/PCS Delivered in 2.5 Months

Customer AI Inference Chip Startup
Max Rate 800G Aggregate
Team Size 4 engineers
Duration 2.5 months

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
  • Full UVM coverage closure and multi-rate verification
