SmartDV’s MIPI SoundWire Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying the MIPI SoundWire double data rate audio bus interface, a low-complexity, low-power, multi-drop serial interface supporting PCM and PDM audio data transport between a Manager and multiple Peripheral devices. Fully compliant with MIPI SoundWire v1.3 (September 2025) and backward compatible with v1.2r08 and earlier revisions, it supports complete verification of SoundWire Manager, Peripheral, and Monitor components across Basic PHY and High PHY modes, all defined frame shapes with static, dynamic, and PHY frame synchronization, all command types, all transport modes including multi-lane payload, flow-controlled payload, and bulk payload, and comprehensive error injection and detection across all defined SoundWire error types.
SmartDV’s MIPI SoundWire 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 dual ranked register and commit mechanism, multi-byte quantities buffer, dynamic shape and payload switching, group response handling, PRBS and static test modes, clock pause and stop, all reset types, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s MIPI SoundWire VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate SoundWire audio bus interface designs for smartphones, tablets, PCs, automotive infotainment, and embedded audio systems using amplifiers, microphones, and audio codecs.
