SmartCard (IEC7816) VIP
Simulation
Overview

SmartDV’s SmartCard Verification IP is designed to verify asynchronous and synchronous smart card interfaces used for secure authentication, data storage, and cryptographic applications. Fully compliant with the ISO/IEC 7816 standard (Parts 3–4), this VIP enables accurate validation of smart card communication protocols, ATR (Answer to Reset), T=0 and T=1 transport layers, PPS negotiation, and error handling.

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 applicability across simulation environments.

With configurable card and terminal agents, built-in protocol checkers, support for command APDUs, status word validation, and protocol timing checks, SmartDV’s SmartCard VIP helps verification teams ensure robust and standards-compliant integration of secure smart card interfaces in mobile, banking, identity, and embedded security systems.
