XSPI (Expanded Serial Peripheral Interface) Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the XSPI component of a SOC or a ASIC in Emulator or FPGA platform. The SmartDV's XSPI (Expanded Serial Peripheral Interface) Synthesizable Transactor is fully compliant with standard XSPI Specification and provides thefollowing features.
XSPI (Expanded Serial Peripheral Interface) Synthesizable Transactor
Overview
Key Features
- Follows XSPI basic specification as defined in JEDEC eXpanded Serial Peripheral Interface (xSPI)for Non Volatile Memory Devices
- Supports Master and Slave Mode
- Supports 4-wire,7-wire,11-wire interface
- Supports data width upto 8 bits
- Supports bus width of 1 bit ,4 bits and 8 bits
- Supports baud rate selection
- Supports internal clock division check
- Supports clock polarity and CPHA selections
- Supports single and burst transfer mode
- Supports single,dual,quad mode and Octal bus width operation
- XSPI Slave can be configured as standard device or can use FIFO for data passing
- Master contains rich set of commands for both standard device and FIFO model mode
Benefits
- Compatible with testbench writing using SmartDV's VIP
- All UVM sequences/testcases written with VIP can be reused
- Runs in every major emulators environment
- Runs in custom FPGA platforms
