SAN DIEGO, CA – July 8, 2015 – Within a four week period, SmartDV Technologies, the verification intellectual property (VIP) company, delivered verification IP to Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the leading provider of customizable smart connectivity solutions. Lattice Semiconductor used the verification IP to verify and tape out their chip with a type C/CC connector interface that supports the new USB power delivery specification.

USB Power Delivery Verification IP, one of 75+ VIPs from SmartDV, uses compiler technology that automates VIP creation as well as customization to meet customer needs, resulting in shorter support turnaround time. Customers have source code access to everything except base bus functional models (BFMs), enabling them to quickly and easily edit/modify test cases, coverage models, and sequence libraries that are shipped with the VIP package.

“SmartDV’s high-quality USB power delivery verification IP, along with fast and reliable support, has helped us verify the interface on time and enabled us to meet our stringent deadlines,” said Choon-Hoe Yeoh, senior director of EDA tools and methodologies at Lattice Semiconductor.

“It was a pleasure to help Lattice Semiconductor, a company with semiconductor and IP products that deliver connectivity across a wide array of devices,” said Harish Poojary, head of US operations and vice president of worldwide sales and business development. “Our focus is on providing products with the best combination of quality and speed to help our customers verify their designs, which in turn benefits their customers. SmartDV VIPs are two to four times faster than others in the market, based on evaluation/performance benchmarks by customers. Not only that, there are cases where we have found bugs in customer designs that were not reported by other vendor’s VIPs.”
