SmartDV Unveils First Verification IP to Support Ethernet TSN

Verification IP Fully Compliant with Updated IEEE Standard for Time-Sensitive Transmission of Data over Ethernet Networks

SAN JOSE, CALIF –– May 23, 2019 –– SmartDV™ Technologies, the Proven and Trusted choice for Verification intellectual property (IP), today unveiled Verification IP for Ethernet Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), an update to the IEEE standard for time-sensitive transmission of data over Ethernet networks.

The first Verification IP to support Ethernet TSN, it is fully compliant with IEEE 802.1 specifications that define various components of time-sensitive networking.

“We have the background and experience for what it takes to design and verify the Ethernet protocol,” affirms Deepak Kumar Tala, managing director of SmartDV. “Members of our Ethernet Verification IP development group are experts in this area, having designed Ethernet products at leading network architecture companies. With their expertise and our proprietary compiler technology, developing Verification IP for the new Ethernet TSN standards was straightforward.”

SmartDV’s Ethernet TSN Verification IP features a complete set of protocols, and verification and productivity tools to achieve accelerated verification closure of Ethernet-based designs used in real-time communications where timing and latency must meet critical time boundaries. It verifies a design's MAC-to-PHY and PHY-to-MAC layer interfaces and works within a SystemVerilog, Verilog hardware description language (HDL), Vera or SystemC environment.

In addition to Ethernet TSN, SmartDV offers a range of Ethernet Verification IP to support 10, 100, 1G, 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G Ethernet. All are IEEE 802.3 compliant.
