| Abstract | This paper describes an innovative solution to the challenges of in-system IP validation, in particular the implementation and silicon results for a new, high-speed, 6 Gigabit-per-second Serial-ATA platform chip from Infineon. Using a commercially available silicon validation platform, Infineon successfully inserted the on-chip instrumentation with the newly developed Infineon IP, and employed it in silicon, to both validate and optimize the 90nm platform device for use by Infineon's licensees. Additional results describe downstream system-level development and analysis applications, enabled through the use of an API to access the on-chip instrumentation in the lab to monitor communications between the IP blocks.
