Verification intellectual property (VIP) is a critical element that begins in the early phase of system architecture. System and system-on-chip (SoC) developers engage with VIP providers as they start to model their memory subsystems. Companies that lead the charge in using new DRAM protocols engage much earlier than when the standard is approved by JEDEC. Micron values this relationship and works with these VIP partners to ensure they have what they need to support their customers in designing with the next-generation DRAM protocol.
