Verification IP for LPDDR5
Synopsys Verification IP (VIP) for JEDEC LPDDR5 provides a comprehensive set of protocol, methodology, verification, and productivity features, enabling users to achieve accelerated verification closure of LPDDR5/4/3/2 based designs.
VIP LPDDR5 is based on next generation architecture and implemented in native System Verilog/UVM, which eliminates the need for language translation wrappers that affect performance and ease-of-use. The VIP can be integrated, configured, and customized with minimal effort, enabling designers to easily expand usage and meet organizations requirements. VIP is natively integrated with Verdi® Protocol Analyzer, a protocol-centric debug environment that gives users graphical view of VIP operations, transactions, and memory content view for easy and fast debug.
Memory Model Certification
Synopsys provides a comprehensive set of DRAM and Flash Memory VIP that support the latest ratified and draft specifications from standards organizations such as JEDEC, ONFi, SD, and SPI. Synopsys’ VIP team works closely with leading memory vendors to certify 100% compatibility with their manufactured parts. Synopsys Memory VIP is used by memory controller and PHY IP design teams for verification sign off using run time and random JEDEC, and vendor part selection, protocol, and timing checks, and functional coverage. The early adoption and collaboration with leading memory vendors, SoC market makers, and industry leading IP teams certify the quality of Synopsys Memory VIP.

JEDEC and Vendor Part Numbers
Synopsys VIP supports generic JEDEC part numbers with densities ranging from 8Gb to 32Gb, data rates up to 8800 Mbps, and bus width from X4 to X16. It supports core timings according to specific frequencies and densities. Synopsys collaborates with leading memory vendors, including Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, and Nanya for support of specific vendor part numbers, as they are made available. It also provides a configuration to model all possible JEDEC part numbers virtually. The virtual part number feature enhances productivity, as user need not to request and wait for delivery of the required part number from Synopsys.
