SPI/EEPROM Verification IP

Overview

SPI/EEPROM Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the serial synchronous communication protocol.The SmartDV's SPI/EEPROM Verification IP is fully compliant with SPI Block Guide V04.01 of the EEPROM's Atmel AT25128A,AT25256A eeprom and Saifun SA25C020 eeprom Specification and provides the following features. It can work with Verilog HDL environment and works with all Verilog simulators that are support SystemVerilog.

SPI/EEPROM Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

SPI/EEPROM Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.

Key Features

Follows EEPROM basic specification as defined in Atmel AT25128A,AT25256A
EEPROM and Saifun SA25C020 EEPROM
Supports SPI Modes 0 (0,0) and 3 (1,1)
Supports 64-byte Page Mode and Byte Write Operation
Supports Block Write Protection for Protect Quarter, Half or Entire Array
Supports Write Protect (WP) Pin and Write Disable Instructions
Supports for Data Protection
Supports Byte and Page Write Operation:
Supports customized single/dual/quad modes for Command, Address and Data phase
Supports configurable dummy cycles
Supports configurable memory density
Supports backdoor access for memory and registers
Built in functional coverage analysis.
Supports Callbacks in master, slave and monitor for modifying, and sampling data/cmd on SPI/EEPROM bus.
SPI/EEPROM Slave can be configured as standard device or can use FIFO for data passing.
Master contains rich set of commands for both standard device and FIFO model mode.

Benefits

Faster testbench development and more complete verification of SPI/EEPROM designs.
Easy to use command interface simplifies testbench control and configuration of slave and master.
Simplifies results analysis.
Runs in every major simulation environment.
