Overview

SmartDV’s eMMC Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying Embedded MultiMediaCard flash storage interfaces across all generations of the JEDEC eMMC standard. Fully compliant with JESD84-B51B (eMMC v5.1B) and backward compatible with JESD84-B51A, JESD84-B51, JESD84-B50, JESD84-B45, and JESD84-A441, it supports complete verification of eMMC host and device functionality across 1-bit, 4-bit, and 8-bit data bus widths, all transfer modes including HS200 and HS400, boot and alternative boot operation, command queuing, enhanced strobe, and the complete eMMC security and data protection feature set.

SmartDV’s eMMC 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 comprehensive error injection and detection across all eMMC error types, bus-accurate timing, RPMB support, packed commands, extended security protocol commands, production state awareness, secure write protect, write protection for boot and user areas, data removable mechanisms, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s eMMC VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate embedded flash storage designs for smartphones, tablets, automotive, IoT, and industrial embedded applications.
