SmartDV’s MIPI CSI-2 Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying the world’s most widely implemented embedded camera and imaging interface, providing complete verification of the MIPI Camera Serial Interface 2 protocol across both C-PHY and D-PHY physical layers. Fully compliant with MIPI CSI-2 v4.2 (December 2025) and backward compatible with all previous versions including v4.1, v4.0, v3.0, v2.1, v2.0, and v1.0 through v1.3, it supports complete verification of CSI-2 transmitter and receiver components across all lane configurations, all virtual channel identifiers with virtual channel extension, all pixel formats from 6 to 24 bits per pixel, all short and long packet types, data scrambling, skew calibration, Smart Region of Interest, Latency Reduction and Transport Efficiency, RAW data compression, and the PHY-Protocol Interface for both C-PHY and D-PHY implementations.
SmartDV’s MIPI CSI-2 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 interleaved data transmission support, forward escape and ULPM on all data lanes, glitch injection across multiple lanes, comprehensive error injection and detection, control bus support via CCI, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s MIPI CSI-2 VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate camera serial interface designs for mobile, automotive ADAS, AR/VR, IoT, medical imaging, industrial machine vision, and drone applications.
