Two IP blocks for multicarrier systems-on-a-chip are examined in detail, fabricated and performance estimates are developed. The first component is a 32-bit embedded processor that implements the SPARC V8 standard and is capable of performing many of the low-complexity processing and control ...
The concept of intellectual property (IP) blocks for system-level designs that can be re-used is about 10 years old. Unfortunately, the benefits of decreased time-to-market and engineering efficiency have been thwarted by legal hassles, little interoperability, and a lack...
Reuse of IP blocks: The reuse of many hardware IP blocks in a mix-and-match style suggests reuse of the verification components as well. Many companies treat their verification IP as a valuable asset (sometimes valued even more than the hardware IP). Typically, there are independent groups wo...
The article develops True Circuits' family of precision phase-locked (PPL) loops available as hard macrocells to deliver system clocks, perform built-in frequency margin testing, and deliver stable clocks for serializer/deserializer and video applications. The blocks of intellectual-property macros provi...
Going back to VLSI Technology days, one company we worked with was called Symbionics. They had specialized blocks and software for implementing GSM (now often called 2G, although it wasn't then). So this was another example of true system-level IP. As it turned out, when Cadence created ...
A system﹐n゛ヽhip (SoC) processor core contains several numbers of chips integrated into a single chip where each and every integrated circuit (IC) consists of multiple blocks. Hence, data routing from one chip to...
5.2.7 主要数字系统构建块(Building Blocks ) 表5.6总结了任何数字系统的主要构建块。这些构建块可以用来实现或设计任何IP。 5.3 Verilog验证 为了显示、检查或监控DUV响应,Verilog模拟环境提供两种模拟结果显示方法: 图形(波形编辑器):适合小型设计,因为你可以通过图形界面或使用系统任务(system task)命令进行检查,如$...
Conventional TCAM array BIST algorithms are of the order of O(xy) where x is the number of words and y is the number of bits in a word. In addition to the bitcells, sub-blocks of the Priority Encoder (the multi-match resolver and the match address encoder) also need to be tested....
milc) are memory-intensive: a load operation accessing main memory typically blocks the head of the ROB, which causes the ROB to fill up. This leads to a significant increase of ACE bits while servicing the memory operation.21 However, some memory-intensive benchmarks (e.g., mcf and ...
A hierarchical RTL context-preserving insertion and connectivity methodology has been further implemented in EDA tool – chip IP integrator. This paper shares the approach, methodology and the results on a real-life system comprising several RTL design blocks in Verilog each having around a quarter ...
