SmartDV’s SMBus Verification IP is designed to verify low-speed, two-wire communication interfaces used for system management, monitoring, and control in computing, server, and embedded platforms. Fully compliant with the SMBus specification (including SMBus 2.0 and 3.0), this VIP enables accurate validation of device discovery, command protocols, timing characteristics, and error handling over the I²C physical layer.

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, providing flexibility across simulation environments.

With configurable master and slave agents, support for multi-device topologies, built-in protocol checkers, timing validation, and PEC (Packet Error Code) checking, SmartDV’s SMBus VIP empowers verification teams to validate robust and standards-compliant system management interfaces in laptops, servers, and embedded control systems.
