SDIO 8.0 Synthesizable Transactor

Overview

SDIO Synthesizable Transactor is compliant with SDIO 1.0/2.0/3.0/4.20/5.0/5.10/6.0/6.10/7.0/7.10/8.0 specifications and verifies SDIO. SDIO is build on top of it to make it robust. SDIO Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the SDIO component of a SOC or a ASIC in Emulator or FPGA platform. SDIO Synthesizable Transactor is developed by experts in networking, who have developed networking products in companies like Intel, Cortina-Systems, Emulex, Cisco. We know what it takes to verify a networking product.
