Overview

SmartDV’s xSPI Verification IP is designed to verify high-performance, low-pin-count memory interfaces that comply with the JEDEC xSPI (JESD251) standard. Targeting next-generation non-volatile memories such as Octal NOR and NAND flash, this VIP enables accurate validation of xSPI protocol features including command and address framing, data transfer modes, double data rate (DDR) operation, and x8 I/O support.

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, ensuring deployment flexibility across verification environments.

With configurable master and memory agents, support for multiple xSPI profiles, protocol checkers, timing analysis, and error injection, SmartDV’s xSPI VIP empowers verification teams to validate scalable, high-throughput serial memory interfaces used in automotive, industrial, and high-performance embedded systems.
