SPI/EEPROM Verification IP provides an smart way to verify the serial synchronous communication protocol.The SmartDV's SPI/EEPROM Verification IP is fully compliant with SPI Block Guide V04.01 of the EEPROM's Atmel AT25128A,AT25256A eeprom and Saifun SA25C020 eeprom Specification and provides the following features. It can work with Verilog HDL environment and works with all Verilog simulators that are support SystemVerilog.
SPI/EEPROM Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
SPI/EEPROM Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
