Overview

SmartDV’s USB PD/Type-C Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying USB Power Delivery and USB Type-C interfaces, the unified protocol and connector standard enabling flexible power negotiation, role swapping, and alternate mode data connectivity over the USB-C connector. Fully compliant with USB Power Delivery Specification Revision 3.2 and backward compatible with 3.1, 3.0, 2.0, and 1.0, alongside USB Type-C Cable and Connector Specification Release 2.5 and backward compatible with earlier releases, it supports complete verification of USB PD and Type-C functionality across TYPE-C, TYPE-B, and TYPE-A interfaces, cable plug communication, and all defined reset types including Hard, Soft, and Cable Resets.

SmartDV’s USB PD/Type-C 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 complete role and capability swap coverage, BFSK and BMC physical layer signaling, structured and unstructured VDM, BIST, debug and audio accessory operation, plug orientation and cable twist detection, comprehensive error injection, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s USB PD/Type-C VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate USB PD and Type-C interface designs for chargers, docking stations, laptops, mobile devices, and any application requiring standardized USB-C power negotiation and connectivity.
