The SmartDV's LVDS verifies the Radio Front end-Baseband digital parallel interface.LVDS Verification IP can be used to verify BBIC or RFIC and SPI Master or Slave following the LVDS basic protocol as defined in LVDS and provides the following features.
LVDS Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
LVDS Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
