Overview

SmartDV’s LPDDR4/4X Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying Low Power Double Data Rate 4 and LPDDR4X memory interfaces across device and PHY interface implementations. Fully compliant with JEDEC JESD209-4 through JESD209-4E for LPDDR4 and JESD209-4X for LPDDR4X, and DFI versions 2.0 through 5.0, it supports complete verification of LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X device components across x8 and x16 device configurations with densities up to 32 GB, covering all defined commands, mode register programming, write leveling, CA training, DQ Vref training, ZQ and DQ calibration, multi-rank support, byte mode, single-ended mode, refresh management, and the DDR PHY Interface across DDR3, DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR3, LPDDR4, and LPDDR5 memory protocols.

SmartDV’s LPDDR4/4X 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, on-the-fly burst length changes, write and read DBI, power down and self-refresh, input clock stop and frequency change, DFI multi-protocol support, bus-accurate timing, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s LPDDR4/4X VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X memory subsystem designs for mobile SoCs, 5G platforms, automotive infotainment, IoT, and power-sensitive embedded computing applications.
