SmartDV’s SD Express Verification IP is designed to verify next-generation high-speed memory card interfaces that combine the legacy SD protocol with PCI Express® and NVMe® performance capabilities. Fully compliant with the SD Express specification by the SD Association, this VIP enables accurate validation of both SD legacy and PCIe/NVMe-based operations within a unified interface.

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 wide usability across simulation environments.

With configurable host and card agents, support for dual-protocol operation (SD and PCIe/NVMe), protocol checkers, error injection, and detailed coverage metrics, SmartDV’s SD Express VIP empowers verification teams to validate high-performance, backward-compatible storage interfaces for mobile, embedded, and consumer electronics applications.
