Serial PCM Memory Model

Serial PCM Memory Model provides an smart way to verify the Serial PCM component of a SOC or a ASIC.

Overview

Serial PCM Memory Model provides an smart way to verify the Serial PCM component of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's Serial PCM memory model is fully compliant with standard Serial PCM Specification and provides the following features. Better than Denali Memory Models.

Serial PCM Memory Model is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

Serial PCM Memory Model comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.

Keeping Pace with CXL Specification Revisions

As the Compute Express Link® (CXL®) specification rapidly evolves, so too must the tools and infrastructure used to verify designs built around it. Maintaining verification IP (VIP) that keeps pace with new specification revisions is no small task, particularly when dealing with major version shifts like the transition from CXL 2.0 to 3.0.

SmartDV Licenses SDIO IP Family to Ranix for V2X Products

To meet RANiX’s unique design goals, SmartDV will customize the IP to go beyond the standard SDIO functionality—thereby empowering RANiX to differentiate from their competitors. SmartDV will also provide RANiX with the requisite support and documentation to achieve ASIL certification for ISO 26262.
