Overview

The bus converter module transforms 64-bit wide initiator data buses to smaller 32-bit target data buses or vice-versa. The downsizer module cuts the width of the data channel in half as it transitions from initiator to slave. You can do full-width initiator transfers. This method comprises changing the transfer type, burst, and size, as well as latching half of the initiator read data. Furthermore, several target write or read operations may be necessary to transport data to and from the narrow target. Other width converters are also available for a variety of buses.

      • A narrow target on a wide bus
        • A target module developed for a 32-bit bus can be converted to a 64-bit bus. This technique can be applied to hard macrocells as it only requires external logic and no internal design changes.

From Spec to Silicon: Accelerate SoC Integration with IP-XACT

In today’s semiconductor industry, System-on-Chip (SoC) design has become increasingly complex. Modern SoCs integrate multiple intellectual property (IP) blocks, each designed by different teams, vendors, or even geographies. These IPs vary in functionality—processors, memory controllers, peripherals, accelerators, and interconnects—but must work smoothly together in a single chip.

A Time Scaling Theory for Multi-Layer Electronic Systems

For six decades, Moore's geometric scaling drove progress in semiconductors. That industry compact no longer holds: returns from pure dimensional shrinking have flattened, leading-edge design budgets exceed one billion dollars per chip, and cost-per-transistor at the most advanced nodes is no longer falling.

CSoC Platform / Digital Subsystem IP for IoT

This paper describes a CSoC platform and configurable digital subsystem IP which can be deployed for development of IOT edge devices. The paper encompasses the different attributes of IOT edge device that can cater multiple industry segments, key features and benefits of CSoC platform, components of the digital subsystem IP that enables rapid prototyping of SoCs for IOT applications.

Secure Mobile Payments - Protecting display data in TrustZone-enabled SoCs with the Evatronix PANTA Family of Display Processors

Secure System-on-Chips (SoCs) based on ARM® TrustZone® technology enable both hardware and software components to be isolated as a secure subsystem within a complex SoC and as such focus on processing protected, sensitive and valuable assets, such as payment credentials, whenever these might be endangered with an attack, modification or capture. At the same time the main system software may be an open Rich OS platform that enables downloading and use of arbitrary third-party and non-trusted applications which can gain access to almost all system hardware elements.
