Verification IP View all specifications

Overview

Serial Flash is the serial synchronous communication protocol based Flash VIP, supporting all major Serial Flash vendors. Serial Flash VIP can be used to verify Serial Flash Master or Slave in SOC. It can work with Verilog HDL environment and works with all Verilog simulators that are support SystemVerilog.

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

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

Rapid Validation of Post-Silicon Devices Using Verification IP

A well-repeated truism throughout the semiconductor industry is that chip design verification is complex and often takes up the largest portion of a design project’s schedule –– sometimes as much as 70% –– and an ongoing challenge facing verification engineers.

The Complicated Chip Design Verification Landscape

While a working device that meets all functional specifications is a chip design project group’s No. 1 goal, many designers wake up covered in sweat worrying about a dead-on-arrival chip. No matter how much coverage or how many verification tools are employed, a bug or multiple bugs could slip through the net.
