Simulation VIP for OSPI NOR

Overview

In production since 2012 for dozens of designs.

The Cadence® Memory Model Verification IP (VIP) for Flash Octal SPI (OSPI) Flash provides verification of serial flash NOR devices using the SPI protocol. The OSPI VIP is compatible with the industry-standard Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), runs on all leading simulators, and leverages the industry-standard Cadence Memory Model core architecture, interface, and use model.

Supported Specification: Octal SPI features of the vendors: Micron, Macronix, Adesto, ISSI, and GigaDevices.

Key Features

  • Device Density
    • From 256Mb to 2Gb, with frequency up to 133MHz in SPI and 200MHz in OSPI mode
  • Operation Mode
    • Extended SPI mode, Octal SDR and DDR mode (Single I/O and Octal I/O)
  • RESET
    • Software Reset: RESET and RESETN command, as well as Hardware Reset using the Reset Pin
  • Read ID
    • Read Serial Flash Discoverable parameter
  • XIP
    • Execute-in-place (XIP), Fast Boot feature after Power on cycle or Reset
  • Configuration
    • Configuration registers Read and Write for Volatile and Non-volatile registers
    • Configuration Capability: Volatile and non-volatile configuration register settings to change the mode of the model, Dummy cycles for read commands, 3-byte or 4-byte addressing, Output Drive Strength (ODS), DQS Enable and Disable, ECC enable and disable, CRC enable and disable, Wrap enable and disable, and Wrap size
  • Addressing Capability
    • 3-byte and 4-byte address modes enable memory access beyond 128Mb
  • Commands
    • Supports Read (SPI), Fast Read, Octal Output Read, Octal I/O Fast Read, DDR Octal Output Fast read, and DDR Octal I/O Fast Read (DDR mode only)
    • Supports Burst Read by using Set Burst Length command you can set 16-byte, 32-byte, or 64-byte Wrap Bursts for Read commands
    • Supports Page Program, Sub-Sector Erase with 4KB and 32KB granularity, Sector Erase with uniform granularity and Bulk (Chip) Erase commands
    • Supports Buffer Write (84h), Buffer Read (D4h), Buffer to Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase, WP pin functionalities (signals are shared with I/O pins), Echo (AAh), Echo with Inversion (A5h) (Adesto Specific)
    • Support Program, Erase Suspend and Resume operations, Support Deep Power Down mode
    • DDR Center Aligned Read Strobe (DCARS) : DQs is driven on 90-degree phase-shifted clock (sclk2) rather than actual clock (sclk)
    • Interruptible Write Buffer: Write Buffer Initial (WRBI), Write Buffer Continue (WRCT), Write Buffer Confirm (WRCF) and Page Buffer Read (RDBUF)
    • Timing: Supports Device Input and Output timing and Variants memory operations timing (for Program, Erase, Suspend, and Resume)
  • Preamble Pattern
    • Based on the PBE bit value, selected Preamble Pattern will be inputted to the Dummy Cycles
  • Security and Write Protection
    • Volatile and nonvolatile locking and software Write Protection for each 128KB sector:
    • Hardware write protection: Based non-volatile bits defined protected area size, Program and erase protection during power-up, CRC detects accidental changes to raw data
  • Read While Write
    • Divides into 2 banks or 4 banks of 0-32Mbit each: While an Erase or Program operation is taking place in one bank, a Read can take place in other
  • OTP
    • Readable, user-lockable 64bytes to 8K-bit Security OTP memory outside main memory and Permanent lock with PROGRAM OTP command
