SmartDV LIN Verification IP

LIN VIP

Local Interconnect Network (LIN) is a single-wire, serial communication protocol based on the UART interface that is gaining popularity as a sub-bus standard in the automotive industry. LIN VIP are reusable components that provide ready made verification environment. Compatible with Local Interconnect Network (LIN) specifications version 1.3 and 2.0. Supports Unconditional, Event-triggered and mandatory Diagnostic frames.

LIN VIP is supported natively in VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC and non-standard verification env

Features

Compatible with Local Interconnect Network (LIN) specifications version 1.3 and 2.0

Supports Unconditional, Event-triggered and mandatory Diagnostic frames

Simulates LIN cluster with up to 8 nodes. The user can configure the number of LIN VIP nodes.

These LIN nodes can be configured as either Master, Active Slave or Passive Slave nodes.

Built-in checkers ensures that LIN protocol has been followed correctly.

Supports injection of errors in frames.

Allows creation of both random and directed testcases.

Built-in coverage analysis for frames.

Bus-accurate timing

Monitor, Detects and notifies the testbench of all protocol errors.

Supports generation of frames with error and noise injection.

Tracking of the transmit and receive counters.

Complete testsuite

Configurable as agent (frame generator) or monitor.

Compares read data with expected results

Benefits

Faster testbench development and more complete verification of LIN designs.

Easy to use command interface simplifies testbench control and configuration of slave and master.

Simplifies results analysis.

Runs in every major simulation environment.
