DDR Assertion IP

Overview

DDR Assertion IP provides an efficient and smart way to verify the DDR designs quickly without a testbench. The SmartDV's DDR Assertion IP is fully compliant with standard DDR Specification.

DDR Assertion IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

DDR Assertion IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.

Key Features

  • Specification Compliance
    • Quickly validates the implementation of the DDR standard
    • Checks for following
    • Check-points include power on, Initialization and power off rules,
    • State based rules, Active Command rules,
    • Read/Write Command rules etc.
    • All timing violations.
    • Constantly monitors DDR behavior.
    • Supports every legal address and data width configurations.
    • Supports every legal CAS latency.
    • Supports mode register set command.
    • Supports configurable auto refresh and self refresh mode.
    • Supports all legal value of the auto precharge for each burst.
    • Supports different burst lengths.
  • Assertion IP features
    • Assertion IP includes:
    • System Verilog assertions
    • System Verilog assumptions
    • System Verilog cover properties
    • Synthesizable Verilog Auxiliary code
    • Support Master mode, Slave mode, Monitor mode and Constraint mode.
    • Supports Simulation mode (stimulus from SmartDV DDR VIP) and Formal mode (stimulus from Formal tool).
    • Rich set of parameters to configure DDR Assertion IP functionality.

Benefits

  • Runs in every major formal and simulation environment.
