I2S Verification IP

Overview

I2S Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the I2S bi-directional two-wire bus. The SmartDV's I2S Verification IP is fully compliant with version Philip's I2S-Bus Specification June 5, 1996 and provides the following features.

I2S Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

I2S Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.

Key Features

Complies with Philips I2S Specification June 5, 1996
Full I2S Transmitter, Receiver and Controller functionality
Supports up to 32 channels in transmit path
Supports up to 32 channels in receive path
Supports programmable word length 8,12,16,20,24,32
Supports programmable padding
Supports programmable bit reversal

Can operate as master or slave in several configurations
- Master or slave mode as transmitter
- Master or slave mode as receiver
- Master mode as controller (does not transmit or receive data)
Notifies the testbench of significant events such as transactions, warnings, timing and protocol violations.
Status counters for various events on bus.
Callbacks in transmitter, receiver and monitor for various events.
Supports constraints Randomization.
Built in functional coverage analysis.
I2S Verification IP comes with complete test suite to test every feature of I2S specification.

Benefits
