SRAM UVC Project

Project Overview

The SRAM UVC (Universal Verification Component) project provides a comprehensive verification environment to test and validate the functionality of a custom SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) with timing models. Leveraging the UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) framework, this project aims to deliver a standardized and reusable environment for SRAM verification.

The project encompasses:

• A custom interface
• UVM agents
• A UVM environment for simulating and verifying the SRAM model’s behavior
• A testbench to integrate the UVC with the DUT (Device Under Test)

Verification Summary

• DUT: parameterized single-port SRAM behavioral model (dut/sram_behavioral_model.sv), 8192 x 32 (32KB), SECDED ECC, runtime-configurable read latency, and specify-block timing delays taken from the 7nm 0.7V/25°C corner of docs/asap7_srambank_excerpt.lib (setup ~48ps, hold ~6.4ps, clk→dataout ~134ps). This enables timing-aware RTL simulation before a gate-level netlist is available.
• Stimulus: constrained-random plus directed sequences for RAW hazards, ECC single-bit correction and double-bit detection across codeword positions, and read-latency sweeps.
• Coverage: a covergroup over op, address regions, data patterns, RAW-hazard gaps, ECC paths (clean / single-bit-corrected / double-bit-detected), and read latency (1-4), with the key crosses. The directed + random sequences close the model to 100%. Overall and per-point numbers print in report_phase. See docs/coverage_plan.md.
