SLC NAND Memory Model

Overview

SLC NAND Memory Model provides an smart way to verify the SLC NAND component of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's SLC NAND memory model is fully compliant with standard SLC NAND Specification and provides the following features. Better than Denali Memory Models.

SLC NAND Memory Model is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

SLC NAND Memory Model comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
