SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) Synthesizable Transactor

Overview

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

Key Features

  • Follows SPI basic specification as defined in SPI Block Guide V04.01
  • Supports Master and Slave Mode
  • Supports 3-wire,4-wire interface
  • Supports SQI interface specification and common flash device models
  • Supports data width from 4 bits to 64 bits
  • Supports bus width 1 bit and 4 bit
  • Slave device supported for SPI 3 wire are
    • BOSCH SMB380
    • RICOH R2033K
  • Supports baud rate selection
  • Supports internal clock division check
  • Supports clock polarity selections
  • Supports CPHA selection
  • Supports single and burst transfer mode
  • Supports on the fly generation of data
  • Detects and reports the following errors
    • Mode Fault error
  • Supports constraints Randomization
  • Supports glitch insertion and detection
  • Status counters for various events on bus
  • Supports single,dual and quad mode bus width operation
  • Supports spansion DDR model
  • SPI Slave can be configured as standard device or can use FIFO for data passing
  • In standard model mode, Mater/Slave support different types of devices. Like FLASH, EEPROM, FRAM,RTC,SQI,MOTOROLA Mode,NS mode and TI mode(Precede and Coincide)
  • Master contains rich set of commands for both standard device and FIFO model mode

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
