LPSDR Memory Model

Overview

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

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

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