eInfochips' DDR2 SDRAM SystemVerilog and VMM based memory model generator tool

AHMEDABAD, INDIA: eInfochips Inc., a leading IP driven ASIC/FPGA/SoC, Embedded Systems & Software design services company has announced the availability of DDR2 SDRAM SystemVerilog VMM (Verification Methodology Manual) based Memory Model Generator.

This HVL based tool is an integrated solution to generate behavioral models for all leading memory vendors such as Micron, Samsung, Hynix and Elpida, thereby shortening verification time & maximizing memory coverage.

“We are very pleased to announce the DDR2 SDRAM SystemVerilog & VMM based behavioral memory model generator tool that offers high-quality simulation models and verification environments,” states Nirav Shah, Director of Marketing at eInfochips. “We always look for solutions that add value to the overall development and benefits industry. This tool will be exceptionally beneficial to ASIC/Chip/SoC level verification teams and memory controller IP developers.”

With eInfochips’ DDR2 SDRAM model generator, it is possible to configure parameters of DDR2 SDRAM memory such as memory size, data width, clock rate, cycle time, CAS latency and data rate.

Key features of memory generator tool
The DDR2 SDRAM memory generator is a TCL/TK based tool that supports leading memory vendors like Micron, Samsung, Hynix and Elpida, and preserves a large library of part numbers for each supported memory vendor.

The tool can be operated in two modes -– typical mode or custom mode. In the typical mode, a user may choose vendors and part numbers to generate the memory model. In the custom mode, a user may create customized behavioral model from scratch by configuring parameter of DDR2 SDRAM through the configuration selection algorithm (CSA).

Key features of generated behavioral models
The behavioral models are compliant to JEDEC standard JESD79 -– 2D and ready to be plugged into Verification Environment. The models offer in-built coverage and can be configured to turn On/Off initialization, enable/disable DDR2 interface checkers and coverage.

Deliverables include completely verified SystemVerilog VMM based DDR2 SDRAM generator encrypted code, user guide and release notes. The DDR2 SDRAM SystemVerilog VMM based memory generator tool is now available and comes with support. Currently the tool supports DDR2 but is expandable to support DDR, DDR3, NAND Flash, NOR Flash, QDR, XDR.
