GDDR6 Assertion IP

Overview

GDDR6 Assertion IP provides an efficient and smart way to verify the GDDR6 designs quickly without a testbench. The SmartDV's GDDR6 Assertion IP is fully compliant with standard GDDR6 Specification.

GDDR6 Assertion IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

GDDR6 Assertion IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
