Overview

The Serial ATA Host IP Core provides an interface to high-speed serial link replacements for the parallel ATA attachment of mass storage devices. SATA-HC IP block simplifies the integration of high capacity SSDs utilizing SATA I/II/III at 1.5/3/6Gbit/s data rates.The serial link employed is a high-speed differential layer that utilizes Gigabit technology and 8b/10b encoding.The VHDL source code format is available for ease of customization. The customization can be done by Logic Design Solutions and DO254 documentation is available on request.The lower protocol layers Phy/Link/Transport are implemented in an all-RTL solution, which minimizes access time by providing the shortest possible path between SSD and application.

An Effective way to drastically reduce bug fixing time in SoC Verification

Many times we are not aware of very useful EDA tool options which are already available. Even if such options are very well documented, we don't look at them and try them. But some options are very useful and if you know them, it makes job of design engineer and/or verification engineer very easy. Here, I am going to talk about one very powerful and useful VSIM option of QuestaSim. It is VCDSTIM option of VSIM.

Designing Around an Encrypted Netlist: Is The Pain Worth the Gain?

Oftentimes, in order to save on the cost of IP, a company will select an encrypted netlist as the deliverable instead of the RTL source code. This is especially common among companies looking to develop in FPGA devices where they can often get the necessary IP from their FPGA vendor.

STBus complex interconnect design and verification for a HDTV SoC

To support High Definition Television (HDTV) application, the System on Chip (SoC) presented in this paper has to support multiple and concurrent internal processes. Most of these operations read data from memory, process them and store the resulting data into memory. Each functional unit of the system is responsible for a specific data processing, but all the data are stored in the same shared external memories.
