USB 3.x VIP
Simulation
Overview

SmartDV’s USB 3.x Verification IP is designed to verify high-speed USB interfaces used in storage devices, mobile platforms, consumer electronics, and computing systems. Fully compliant with USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen1/Gen2, and USB 3.2 specifications, this VIP supports SuperSpeed (5 Gbps), SuperSpeed+ (10 Gbps), and dual-lane 20 Gbps configurations, enabling accurate validation of link training, protocol transactions, flow control, and power management.

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 wide applicability across simulation environments.

With configurable host, device, and hub agents, built-in protocol checkers, support for PIPE interface, Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM), low power states (U1/U2/U3), and error injection capabilities, SmartDV’s USB 3.x VIP empowers verification teams to validate robust and high-throughput USB interfaces across next-generation SoCs and ASICs.
