SmartDV’s Octal SPI Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying the eXpanded Serial Peripheral Interface for NOR flash memory devices, providing high data throughput octal I/O serial flash verification for embedded, automotive, IoT, and edge AI applications requiring fast code execute-in-place and high-bandwidth data storage. Fully compliant with JEDEC JESD251 (xSPI) and the Macronix MXSMIO Octal SPI device specification, it supports complete verification of Octal SPI master and slave components across Single I/O (SPI) and Octa I/O (OPI) modes, Double Transfer Rate mode, 1-byte SPI and 2-byte OPI command formats, serial and burst transfer modes, advanced block and sector protection, 8K-bit OTP security, SFDP, electronic identification, and command reset across the full 11-wire slave interface.
SmartDV’s Octal SPI 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 configurable baud rate selection, backdoor data initialization, FIFO-based slave configuration, rich master command set, constraints randomization, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s Octal SPI VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate Octal SPI flash memory interface designs for automotive ADAS and infotainment, IoT gateways, industrial controllers, edge AI inference platforms, and any embedded system requiring high-bandwidth serial NOR flash connectivity.
