Mobiveil, Inc. and Avery Design Systems announced an expanded partnership to help customers accelerate NVMe-based SSD design and verification.
The complementary intellectual property/verification IP (IP/VIP) solution combines Mobiveil’s design IP for NVM Express, DDR4 and LDPC IP with Avery’s verification IP for NVMe, DDR4 and ONFI and NVMe virtual platform solutions. The two companies are also collaborating on SSD emulation platforms.
NVMe technology is the leading interface for SSDs with the potential for tremendous market growth worldwide. NVMe architecture is designed for future SSD development and form factors as the semiconductor industry enters a new era in hyperscale and enterprise computing that drives digital transformation.

“As the NVMe standard continues to evolve to meet new and changing requirements, it is important that product developers have access to design and verification solutions that allow them to take full advantage of the latest features and are complaint with the standard. Our NVMe VIP and virtual platform solutions provide pre-silicon SSD SoC hardware and system-level verification solutions for the latest NVMe 2.0 designs. Our partnership with Mobiveil means that together we can deliver best-in-class IP design and verification solutions to our customers including simulation, FPGA emulation, and virtual system platforms,” said Chris Browy, vice president of sales and marketing at Avery.
Mobiveil’s UNEX™ NVM Express Controller IP and Avery NVMe-Xactor supports the latest NVMe 2.0 specifications:
- Namespace Types support
- Simple copy command
- Zoned Namespace command set
- Key value (KV) command set
- 32b/64b CRC based End to End protection
- NVM Set and Endurance Group Management
In addition, Mobiveil’s ONFI/Toggle IP (EFC™) supports the latest ONFI 5.0 specifications. Both IP are fully verified using Avery Design’s NVMe/PCIe and ONFI VIP solutions.
