Overview

SmartDV’s SPI Verification IP is designed to verify widely used low-pin-count serial interfaces for communication between microcontrollers and peripherals in embedded, automotive, and industrial systems. Fully compliant with industry-standard SPI protocol specifications, this VIP enables accurate validation of full-duplex data transfers, clock polarity/phase configurations, and multi-slave communication.

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 flexible deployment across simulation environments.

With configurable master and slave agents, support for standard, dual, and quad SPI modes, built-in protocol checkers, error injection, and timing validation, SmartDV’s SPI VIP empowers verification teams to confidently validate SPI-based interfaces across a wide range of SoC and MCU designs.
