QDR2 Synthesizable Transactor

Overview

QDR2 Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the QDR2 component of a SOC or a ASIC in Emulator or FPGA platform. The SmartDV's QDR2 Synthesizable Transactor is fully compliant with standard QDR2 Specification and provides the following features.

Key Features

  • Supports 100% of QDR2 protocol standard CY7C1314CV18
  • Supports separate independent read and write data ports with concurrent read and write operation
  • Supports full data coherency, providing most current data
  • Supports synchronous pipeline read with self-timed late write
  • Supports registered address, control and data input/output
  • Supports QDR (quad data rate) interface on read and write ports
  • Supports fixed 4-bit burst for both read and write operation
  • Supports two input clocks (K and K) for accurate QDR timing at clock rising edges only
  • Supports two input clocks for output data (C and C) to minimize clock-skew and flight-time mismatches
  • Supports two echo clocks (CQ and CQ) to enhance output data traceability
  • Supports single address bus
  • Supports byte write function
  • Supports simple depth expansion with no data contention
  • Supports programmable output impedance
  • Supports single multiplexed address input bus latches address inputs for both read and write ports
  • Supports separate port selects for depth expansion
  • Supports synchronous internally self-timed writes
  • QDR II operates with 1.5 cycle read latency when delay lock loop (DLL) is enabled
  • Operates similar to a QDR I device with one cycle read latency in DLL off mode
  • Supports available in x18, and x36 configurations
  • Supports variable drive HSTL output buffers
  • Supports all the QDR2 commands as per the specs
  • Supports delay lock loop (DLL) for accurate data placement
  • Supports full-timing as well as behavioral versions in one model
  • Models, detects and notifies the test bench of significant events such as transactions, warnings, and timing protocol violations

Benefits

  • Compatible with testbench writing using SmartDV VIP's
  • All UVM sequences/testcases written with VIP can be reused
  • Runs in every major emulators environment
  • Runs in custom FPGA platforms
