SmartDV’s Serial Front Panel Data Port Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying sFPDP, the low-overhead, low-latency, high-speed serial communication protocol widely used in radar, signal processing, data recording, and high-bandwidth video systems requiring point-to-point fiber optic data links. Fully compliant with ANSI/VITA 17.1-2015, it supports complete verification of sFPDP TX/RX components across 1-bit serial and 8/10-bit parallel interfaces, 8B/10B encoder/decoder interface, 32-bit Dword Primitive interface, complete frame transaction level interface, link speeds up to 10.0 Gbaud with speed negotiation, and all three defined fiber frame types including normal data, sync without data, and sync with data fiber frames.
SmartDV’s sFPDP 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 comprehensive error injection across all protocol layers, constraints randomization, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s sFPDP VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate sFPDP interface designs for radar systems, medical imaging, FPGA-based signal processing, high-speed data recorders, and defense and aerospace data transfer applications requiring deterministic low-latency serial communication.
