JESD403 (SidebandBus) VIP
Simulation
Overview

SmartDV’s JESD403 (SidebandBus) Verification IP is built to validate low-latency sideband signaling in complex SoC environments through simulation. Fully compliant with the JESD403 specification, it enables efficient verification of sideband communication channels between chiplets or within advanced packaging architectures.

The VIP supports major verification languages, including SystemVerilog and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly with methodologies such as UVM, OVM, and VMM. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA vendors’ simulators, offering flexibility across diverse verification setups.

With configurable initiator and target agents, integrated protocol checkers, scoreboards, and detailed coverage metrics, SmartDV’s JESD403 VIP streamlines testbench development and ensures thorough protocol validation. It empowers verification teams to confidently validate sideband signaling across chiplet-based designs, AI/ML accelerators, and advanced multi-die systems.
