Overview

SmartDV’s QSPI Verification IP is designed to verify high-speed, 4-bit wide serial communication interfaces commonly used in flash memory and embedded system designs. Fully compliant with industry-standard QSPI protocols, this VIP enables accurate validation of read/write operations, command sequences, memory mapping, and timing behavior for serial NOR flash and other QSPI-based devices.

The VIP supports major verification languages, including SystemVerilog and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly with UVM, OVM, and VMM methodologies. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA vendors’ simulators, offering broad flexibility across simulation environments.

With configurable master and slave agents, support for standard, dual, and quad SPI modes, built-in protocol checkers, timing validation, and error injection, SmartDV’s QSPI VIP helps verification teams ensure reliable and high-performance SPI-based memory and peripheral integration in consumer, automotive, and industrial applications.
