Excelon FRAM Memory Model

Overview

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

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

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