英文摘要：

Verification of VLSI chip is a complex task, which costs seventy percent of the whole design work. Functional verification of a multi-protocol serial communication controller with eight channels was introduced. How to establish the verification platform based on bus functional model and the verification strategy were described. A verification platform was also designed to realize the functional verification of the chip. Experimental results show that the strategy proposed can obtain high functional coverage and the testbench can be reusable well. Post simulation and sample test were also completed. This verification mode concerned can be referred to other circuits with complex communication protocols.
