SmartDV’s JESD204 Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying the JEDEC serial interface standard for high-speed data converters, enabling high-bandwidth connections between ADCs, DACs, and logic devices such as FPGAs and ASICs. Fully compliant with JESD204A, JESD204B, JESD204C, and JESD204D, it supports complete verification of JESD204 Transmitter and Receiver components across data interface speeds up to 116 Gbps with PAM4 and up to 58 Gbps with PAM2 in the physical layer, covering all link layer encoding schemes including 8b/10b, 64b/66b, and 64b/80b, all five RS-FEC modes, up to 32 lanes, up to 256 converters per BFM, and all JESD204C and JESD204D advanced features including hard-wired and soft SYNC interfaces, block and extended multi-block alignment, and CRC-3 and CRC-12 integrity checking.
SmartDV’s JESD204 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 across all JESD204 error types, configurable scrambler support, FEC encoding and decoding, payload symbol and block verification, constraints randomization, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s JESD204 VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate data converter interface designs for 5G wireless infrastructure, software-defined radio, phased array radar, aerospace and defense, medical imaging, and high-performance instrumentation applications.
