Abstract: Since integrated circuit designs continuously expanding, which makes the verification process more difficult and time-consuming, effective verification of such circuit designs is essential. As a result, a strong testbench structure is required, one that includes major generic verification components that are highly reusable and are simple to adapt to new designs. The UVM hierarchy is one such design capable of realizing testbench architectures with coverage-driven verification environments with CRT (constrained Random Test). According to the verification plan devised following a thorough review of the SPI protocol requirements, the current effort is appropriately concentrated on SPI One Master and Multi Slave protocol verification using UVM. The UVM Testbench concentrates on generating random vectors that are sent to the SPI module or the DUT (Design Under Test). This method aids in verifying the functionality of SPI by making comparisons with the captured response received via scoreboard. By using acceptable or appropriate test cases, Testbench also validates the functionality and distinguishing characteristics of SPI, and at the conclusion of the test, it delivers a cumulative coverage report of the design.
