SDI Verification IP

Overview

SDI Verification IP implements the digital transmision systems as specified in Serial-Digital Interface standard for microprocessor-based sensors. SDI Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the SDI standard data transmission and control interfaces between recorder and sensor. The SmartDV's SDI Verification IP is fully compliant with SDI-12 Version 1.4 and provides the following features.

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

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

Key Features

Compliant with SDI-12 Version 1.4.
Supports standard, fast, and high speed operations.
Full SDI Recorder and Sensor functionality.
Monitor, Detects and notifies the testbench of all protocol and timing errors.
Supports all recorder commands & sensor responses specified in SDI-12 Version 1.4
Supports all types of error insertion/detections as given below:
- Parity Errors
- CRC Errors
- Invalid response Errors
- Response timeout Errors
Notifies the testbench of significant events such as transactions, warnings, and protocol violations.
Status counters for various events.
Callbacks in recorder and sensor for various events.
Built in functional coverage analysis.
SDI Verification IP comes with complete testsuite to verify each and every feature of SDI-12 Version 1.4

Benefits

Faster testbench development and more complete verification of SDI designs.
Easy to use command interface simplifies testbench control and configuration of Recorder and Sensor.
