DAC – SmartDV, the verification intellectual property (VIP) company, is
demonstrating its portfolio of high quality standard and custom protocol
VIPs at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) this year for the first
time. The company opened a US office in San Diego to meet growing demand
for its portfolio of 70+ VIPs in the North America.
Founded by a group of engineers with over 40 years of experience in the
design and verification of complex SoCs, SmartDV’s greatest strength
lies in the depth and breadth of its VIP portfolio. “Our internal
language and compiler technology speeds up generation of verification IP
in the customer’s language of choice,” said founder and CEO Deepak Kumar
Tala. “Each VIP ships with a compliance test suite and a comprehensive
and complete functional coverage model, which, in conjunction with our
focus on quality, saves enormous IP and SoC verification time for
customers. We have been able to find bugs in customer designs that were
undetected by other vendor’s VIPs.”
SmartDV’s VIP portfolio is available in native SV, UVM, VMM, OVM, Vera,
Verilog, E, and SystemC. The portfolio includes, but is not limited to:
MIPI-UFS, MIPI-UniPro, MIPI-MPHY, MIPI-DPHY, MIPI-CSI, MIPI-DSI,
MIPI-HSI, Ethernet (1M to 100G), Interlaken, USB2.0/3.0, AMBA3.0/4.0,

“Most of the top semiconductor companies are our customers, and multiple
customers have now taped out using our VIPs. Many of our existing 60+
customers have headquarters and multiple business units in the United
States. Opening a subsidiary in USA allows us to provide them with
greater support and revenue-generating opportunities as well as to reach
out to the broader market in the USA,” said Harish Poojary, head of US
operations and vice president of worldwide sales and business
development.
