Perfectus Announces Industry`s First SystemVerilog-based OVM Tested ONFi Verification IP for ONFi 2.1 Specification

ONFi Products Tested to Work with Mentor Graphics Questa Verification Platform
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Santa Clara-based Perfectus Technology, the leading provider of Verification
IPs, today announced the availability of ONFi (Open NAND Flash Interface)
Verification IP (VIP) product based on the ONFi 2.1 specification. This is the
industry`s first SystemVerilog-based, OVM-based ONFi VIP with a very
sophisticated Verification Engine that will help in accelerating the ONFi-based
IP/FPGA/ASIC/SOC/Silicon verification cycle with higher reliability and greater
assurance for verification of device. The ONFi VIP is tested to work in the
Mentor Graphics® Questa® Verification Platform.

The ONFi VIP comprises a complete verification environment including test
generation, assertion checking and monitoring, and functional coverage. The VIP
has a rich set of constrainable parameters, sequence library, powerful error
injection capabilities, APIs and Callbacks for user configurability. The VIPis
configurable and extensible to satisfy each specific verification environment's
requirements. The VIP complies with OVM 2.0.

"Perfectus ONFi Verification IP improves productivity of the verification
engineer by using a readily available sequence library to create the
verification scenarios," said Sheetal Kammaje, marketing manager of Perfectus.
"Perfectus VIP also helps with the tracking of verification progress with the
use of functional coverage."

The ONFi VIP verifies Open NAND Flash Interface-based devices. ONFi 2.1 offers
simplified flash controller design, but pushes performance levels to a new
range-166 megabytes per second (MB/s) to 200 MB/s. Using ONFi strengthens
compatibility and interoperability of NAND devices from different vendors.
(http://onfi.org/) The ONFi VIP supports asynchronous and source synchronous
modes with all timing modes. It supports up to 4 Target NAND Flash devices with
unlimited LOGICAL UNIT, BLOCK & PAGE. For more information visit

The special feature of this product is the reports generated by the
Genie-Interface-Inspector. Reports include a Functional Coverage report which
helps to identify what functionality has been tested; an Error Inspection report
which specifies the errors that were tested and errors that were not tested; a
Protocol Inspection report which shows the percentage of ONFi 2.1 specification
compliance; and a Features Coverage report which shows the percentage of
features covered.

"We are pleased Perfectus has made available the first OVM-tested ONFi
verification IP validated to run on the Questa platform," said Dennis Brophy,
director of strategic business development, Mentor Graphics Corporation. "As an
active member of the Mentor Graphics Questa Vanguard Partnership program,
Perfectus works together with Mentor to improve design and verification
productivity."
