SmartDV’s Safe-By-Wire Plus Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying the Safe-By-Wire Plus two-wire serial communications bus, the automotive industry standard for connecting airbag crash sensors, occupant sensors, and satellite modules to airbag electronic control units via a power-superposing daisy chain bus that reduces vehicle harness count while delivering fault-tolerant, deterministic safety communication. Adherent to Safe-By-Wire Plus Specification Version 2.0 (September 2004), it supports complete verification of SBWP Master and Slave components across the twisted-pair differential daisy chain bus topology, time slot communication system guaranteeing deterministic message delivery, power supply and communication phase operation, bidirectional master-to-slave and slave-to-master communication, all defined frame types, deployment message generation, error and noise injection, and bit error detection by both master and slave.
SmartDV’s SBWP 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 transmit and receive counter tracking, comprehensive protocol checking fully compliant with SBWP v2.0, bus-accurate timing, constraints randomization, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s Safe-By-Wire Plus VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate SBWP sensor bus interface designs for automotive airbag ECUs, belt pretensioner control units, occupant protection systems, and ISO 26262-compliant passive safety control applications.
