SD Card Controller - Verifies SD card interface functionality, ensuring reliable data transfer and compliance with specifications

Overview

The SD Card Controller Verification IP (VIP) is a tool designed to ensure the proper functionality and performance of SD card memory interfaces in SoCs. It validates key operations like read/write cycles, error handling, and power management across multiple SD card versions.

This VIP is widely applicable in various fields, from SoC design validation to mobile devices and embedded systems. It guarantees reliable data transfer and smooth integration with SD card interfaces in industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, IoT, and more

Key Features

  • Protocol Compliance Testing: Ensures that SD, SDHC, and SDXC card specifications are strictly followed. This includes verifying all necessary read, write, and erase operations for different SD card types.
  • Comprehensive Error Handling: Simulates error conditions like bad sectors or signal interference. Ensures the SD card controller handles these issues properly through error recovery mechanisms for system reliability.
  • Support for Multiple SD Versions: Supports testing across SD card generations such as SD, SDHC, and SDXC. This guarantees compatibility and smooth operations regardless of the SD card version in use.
  • High-Speed Data Transfer Verification: Verifies that high-speed data transfer operations, such as UHS-I and UHS-II speeds, are functioning correctly. This ensures efficient and seamless data transfer between the SD card and host system.
  • Power Management Validation: Checks that the SD card adheres to its power requirements, including low-power modes and proper power-up sequences. Validates the overall power management features of the system.
