Overview

SmartDV’s DDR3 Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying DDR3 SDRAM memory interfaces across device, DIMM, 3D Stacked, and PHY interface implementations. Fully compliant with JEDEC JESD79-3F for DDR3 devices, JESD79-3-3 for DDR3 3DS, and DFI versions 2.0 through 5.0, it provides complete verification coverage across DDR3 standalone devices supporting densities up to 8 GB, DDR3 UDIMM, RDIMM, and LRDIMM module types supporting densities up to 32 GB, DDR3 3DS devices supporting densities up to 64 GB with 64 internal banks, and the DDR PHY Interface across DDR3, DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR3, LPDDR4, and LPDDR5 memory protocols.

SmartDV’s DDR3 VIP supports UVM, SystemVerilog, and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly into diverse verification environments. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA simulators, providing flexibility across simulation platforms.

With full-timing and behavioral models in a single package, all timing delay ranges in one model, comprehensive protocol checking across all DDR3 variants, DFI multi-protocol support, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s DDR3 VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate DDR3 memory subsystem designs for embedded, server, networking, automotive, and high-performance computing applications.
