SmartDV’s SAS Verification IP is designed to verify high-speed, point-to-point serial communication used in enterprise storage systems. Fully compliant with the SAS protocol specifications (including SAS-1, SAS-2, SAS-3, and SAS-4), this VIP enables thorough validation of layered protocol functionality—covering the physical, link, transport, and application layers.

The VIP supports major verification languages, including SystemVerilog and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly with UVM, OVM, and VMM methodologies. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA vendors’ simulators, ensuring broad deployment flexibility across simulation environments.

With configurable initiator and target agents, support for SSP, SMP, and STP protocols, built-in protocol checkers, error injection, and detailed coverage models, SmartDV’s SAS VIP empowers verification teams to validate reliable and high-performance serial storage interfaces used in servers, RAID systems, and data centers.
