A growing number of ASICs, microcontrollers and SoCs embed hardware cryptographic accelerators or software cryptographic libraries. The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) will call for an even faster adoption. We now can talk about cryptography pervasion.
This article suggests an innovative approach to build an optimal PMNet per application requirements, based on the definition of four standardized voltage levels (further defined as Interfaces for the Distribution of Power). Finally, it demonstrates the advantages of this approach from which regulator suppliers or designers, SoC integrators and system makers can benefit.
Self-timed packet-switched networks are poised to take a major role in addressing the complex system design and timing closure problems of future complex Systems-on-Chip.
This paper introduces the basic CHAIN architecture using a small test-chip as an example application. It then presents the CHAINworks library and toolset which supports the development of self-timed Networks-on-Chip using industry accepted design and tool
