GDDR2 Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the GDDR2 component of a SOC or a ASIC in Emulator or FPGA platform. The SmartDV's GDDR2 Synthesizable Transactor is fully compliant with standard GDDR2 Specification and provides the following features.
GDDR2 Synthesizable Transactor
Overview
Key Features
- Supports 100% of GDDR2 protocol standard
- Supports all the GDDR2 commands as per the specs
- Supports all types of timing and protocol violation detection
- Supports all mode registers programming
- Supports 8 bank operation
- Supports nominal and dynamic on-die termination (ODT) for data strobe and mask signals
- Checks for following:
- Check-points include power on, initialization and power off rules
- State based rules, active command rules
- Read/write command rules etc
- All timing violations
- Supports programmable burst length:
- 4
- 8
- Supports programmable read latency and write latency
- Supports programmable sequential/interleave burst mode
- Supports programmable CAS read latency
- Supports programmable CAS write latency
- Supports write data mask function
- Supports on-die termination (ODT)
- Supports self refresh mode
- Supports automatic self-refresh (ASR)
- Supports write leveling
- Supports output driver calibration
- Notifies the test bench of significant events such as transactions, warnings, timing and protocol violations
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
