Abstract

The invention provides a function verification method and platform for a DDR3 SDRAM (double data rate 3 synchronous dynamic random access memory) controller. The function verification method comprises steps as follows: adopting a test case to detect correctness of user read-write operation, specific user interface timing sequences or signals; adopting a port monitoring module designed with layering and object oriented technologies to detect correctness of DDR3 SDRAM port signals. According to the invention, the design of the port monitoring module adopts layering and object oriented design methods, so that various timing sequence constraints at a DDR3 SDRAM port are effectively organized in the aspects of time and space, the probability of omission is low, and maintenance and upgrading are facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the verification field of DDR3 SDRAM controllers, in particular to a function verification method and platform for DDR3 SDRAM controllers. Background technique [0002] DDR3 SDRAM is the third generation of high-performance DDR SDRAM (double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory, double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory) proposed to adapt to the development of computer technology. Compared with the previous generation of DDR2 SDRAM, The advantages of its greater data rate, greater data capacity and lower power supply voltage make it more suitable for the requirements of the new generation of storage technology. In addition, DDR3 SDRAM also adopts new technologies such as ODT (on-line debugging technique, online debugging technology) to further ensure the signal integrity of data during high-speed transmission. [0003] The DDR3 SDRAM protocol stipulates that the data transmission is completed by i...
