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.
Serial Flash Synthesizable Transactor
Overview
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
