SmartDV’s SENT (Single Edge Nibble Transmission) Verification IP is designed to verify unidirectional automotive sensor communication interfaces, commonly used in powertrain and safety-critical applications. Fully compliant with the SAE J2716 specification, this VIP enables accurate validation of fast and slow channel messaging, nibble encoding, CRC checks, and pulse timing.

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 flexibility across simulation environments.

With configurable transmitter (sensor) and receiver (ECU) agents, support for enhanced serial message formats, error injection, and protocol checkers, SmartDV’s SENT VIP helps verification teams confidently validate robust and reliable point-to-point sensor interfaces in ASIL-compliant automotive designs.
