USB PD Verification IP

Overview

USB Power Delivery Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the USB Power Delivery. The SmartDV's USB Power Delivery Verification IP is fully compliant with standard USB Power Delivery Specification.

USB Power Delivery VIP has a rich set of configuration parameters to control USB POWER DELIVERY functionality. The USB POWER DELIVERY VIP includes an extensive test suite covering most of the possible scenarios. It has the Ability to detect and insert various types of error and also performs all possible protocol tests in a directed or a highly randomized fashion which adds the possibility to create the widest range of scenarios to verify the DUT effectively. This way it detects the violation of protocol completely.

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

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