Serial Flash Synthesizable Transactor

Overview

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

Key Features

  • Follows Serial Flash specification as defined in WINBOND, MICRONIC, MACRONIX, MICRON, SPANSION, Silicon Storage technology (SST) and many more
  • Supports software and hardware Reset
  • Supports quad peripheral interface (QPI) reduces instruction overhead
  • Supports allows true XIP (execute in place) operation
  • Supports program 1 to 256 byte per programmable page
  • Supports erase/program suspend & resume
  • Supports software and hardware write-protect
  • Supports discoverable parameters (SFDP) register
  • Supports volatile & non-volatile Status Register Bits
  • Supports advanced security features
  • Supports 3-wire,4-wire interface
  • Supports baud rate selection
  • Supports burst modes
  • Supports fast read and byte program
  • Supports block/sector protection
  • Supports flexible erase operation like,
    • 4KByte sector erase
    • 32KByte block erase
    • 64KByte block erase
  • Supports internal clock division check
  • Supports security ID
  • Supports on the fly generation of data
  • Supports backdoor initialization of data
  • Notifies the test bench of significant events such as transactions, warnings, and protocol violations. This can be written to separate log files

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
