Certain design and modeling Approaches of runtime Reconfigurable communication Architectures for system on chip

Abstract

System on Chip SoC is the integration of all the necessary newlineelectronic circuits of diverse functions onto a single chip to evolve as a newlinecomplete electronic system that performs the more complex and more useful newlinefinal product function Usually SoC designs consume less power have low newlinecost and high reliability A typical SoC consists of one or more newlinemicroprocessors memory blocks timing sources peripherals external newlineinterfaces analog interfaces voltage regulators and power management newlinecircuits A communication architecture CA is used to transfer data between newlinedifferent SoC components Therefore the performance of the SoC depends newlineupon the efficiency of CA As VLSI design technology is getting more newlinecommunication centric rather than computation centric there is a necessity newlinefor the on chip CAs to work efficiently The on chip buses are the more newlinecommonly used CAs Some of the bus standards available are AMBA newlineWishbone IBM Coreconnect Sonics SMART Interconnect etc newline newline
