SmartDV’s CFexpress Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying the CompactFlash Association CFexpress removable media interface, the professional imaging and industrial storage standard combining PCI Express and NVMe into a compact, high-performance removable card form factor for digital cameras, cinema cameras, industrial imaging, and high-performance data acquisition systems. Fully compliant with CFexpress 4.0 (August 2023) and backward compatible with CFexpress 2.0 and 1.0, it supports complete verification of CFexpress Host and Card components across all three defined form factors – Type A (PCIe Gen4 x1, up to 2,000 MB/s), Type B (PCIe Gen4 x2, up to 4,000 MB/s), and Type C (PCIe Gen4 x4, up to 8,000 MB/s) — NVMe 1.4c protocol, Video Performance Guarantee certification requirements, and complete backward compatibility with CFexpress 2.0 hosts.
SmartDV’s CFexpress VIP supports UVM, SystemVerilog, and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly into diverse verification environments. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA simulators, providing flexibility across simulation platforms.
With complete PCIe Gen4 physical layer verification, NVMe Admin and I/O queue verification, VPG sustained write speed validation, card detection and enumeration, power management, Host Memory Buffer, comprehensive error injection, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s CFexpress VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate CFexpress interface designs for professional camera modules, cinema camera controllers, industrial imaging SoCs, CFexpress card controllers, and any application requiring high-bandwidth removable PCIe/NVMe storage.
