ARINC 708 Verification IP
Weather radar display bus: 1600-bit words, Manchester coding and the radar data format.
ARINC 708 verification IP
ARINC 708 carries weather-radar data to cockpit displays as 1600-bit Manchester-coded words.
Lumina VIP for ARINC 708 covers ARINC 708 · 708A, as published by ARINC. It comes as verification IP, built for Lumina, so the same components run in simulation and report their results in one place.
What the ARINC 708 VIP covers.
Protocol
- 1600-bit data words with sync and label
- Manchester coding and timing
Checks and error injection
- Sync and data field timing checks
- Data words read from files
- Coding and bit-count errors injected
Scenarios and options
- Multiple display receivers
What it checks
- Word and frame formats
- Command and response timing
- Redundant buses and failover
- Error injection and monitoring
Verification IP capabilities
- Active and passive agents for every protocol role, set per instance
- Bus widths, timing and optional features set by parameters, and changeable while a test runs
- A sequence library from basic directed traffic to constrained-random stress
- Error injection, static or on the fly, with checks that the expected error was seen
- Protocol checks that run in real time, each tied to a rule of the specification
- Scoreboards that check data end to end
- Throughput, latency and utilisation statistics for each interface
- Callbacks at each stage for your own checks and stimulus
- UVM register model adapters for protocols that carry register access
- Transaction logs and messages linked to the waveform for debug
Why Lumina VIP.
- Fast ARINC 708 testbench bring-up: connect the agents, pick a test and run
- Every failure names the rule it broke and the transaction that broke it
- Protocol coverage merges with your design coverage in one database
- Readable SystemVerilog and UVM source your team can extend
- Runs natively in Lumina Sim, with no wrappers and no separate compile
- Results structured for engineers and AI agents alike
Verification components.
Each component works on its own or together with the others in one environment, in active or passive mode.

Frequently asked questions.
What is Lumina VIP for ARINC 708?
Lumina VIP for ARINC 708 is a set of verification products for designs that use ARINC 708: verification IP. Weather radar display bus: 1600-bit words, Manchester coding and the radar data format.
Which ARINC 708 versions does it support?
ARINC 708 · 708A, as published by ARINC. If you need another version or option, tell us which one.
Which verification components are included?
Transmitter, Receiver and Passive monitor. Each one can be used on its own or together with the others in one environment.
What language and methodology does it use?
The verification IP and models are written in SystemVerilog with UVM, as readable source your team can extend.
How does it work with Lumina?
It runs in Lumina Sim beside your RTL. Protocol coverage merges into the same database as your own coverage, and every violation names the rule it broke and the transaction that broke it.
Which tests come with it?
Directed tests for each feature of the specification. Constrained-random tests across configurations and traffic mixes. Error-injection tests that check how the design recovers. A functional coverage model mapped to the specification. Regression lists ready to run in Lumina. For this protocol family the tests focus on: every message and word format, redundant channels and switchover, timing and gap limits and word, parity and coding errors.
What is delivered?
Readable source of every component. The test suite and its coverage model. An example environment connected to a sample design. User guide, integration guide and release notes. Scripts to run the examples in Lumina.
