Parallel NOR Flash Memory Model

Parallel NOR Flash Memory Model provides an smart way to verify the Parallel NOR Flash component of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's Parallel NOR Flash memory model is fully compliant with standard Parallel NOR Flash Specification and provides the following features. Better than Denali Memory Models.

Parallel NOR Flash Memory Model is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

Parallel NOR Flash Memory Model comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
