JTAG (IEEE 1149.1/1149.6) Assertion IP

Overview

JTAG (IEEE 1149.1/1149.6) Assertion IP provides an efficient and smart way to verify the JTAG designs quickly without a testbench. The SmartDV's JTAG Assertion IP is fully compliant with standard JTAG Specification and provides the following features.

JTAG (IEEE 1149.1/1149.6) Assertion IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

JTAG (IEEE 1149.1/1149.6) Assertion IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.

Key Features

  • Specification Compliance
    • Supports Jtag protocol standard IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1149.6.
    • Supports all the JTAG tap instructions.
    • Supports programmable clock frequency of operation.
    • Checks for following
    • State based rules
    • Active Command rules
    • Read/Write to Instruction and data register Rules.
    • Supports Instruction register and data register of size up to 64 bits.
    • Proficiency to extend with user defined instructions and registers.
    • Support all types of timing and protocol violation detection.
  • Assertion IP features
    • Assertion IP includes:
    • System Verilog assertions
    • System Verilog assumptions
    • System Verilog cover properties
    • Synthesizable Verilog Auxiliary code
