用于SoC集成的IP核质量评测方法研究

采用IP核进行SoC设计是集成电路的发展趋势。然而,IP核的质量参差不齐,如何选用高质量IP核成为困扰SoC用户的难题。针对IP核可重用的特点及其在SoC集成应用中的难点,提出了一种主客观相结合的IP核质量评测方法。重点描述了主观质量评测方法的实现和客观质量评测方法的策略,实现了主观质量评测平台,并完成一款数模转换IP核的质量评测。

The Research of IP Quality Evaluation Method for SoC Integration

Due to the varieties of IP and the uneven of IP quality, SoC design is full of risks. Currently, how to balance the benefits and the risk of using IP, and how to evaluate the quality of IP becomes a major problem during SoC integration. According to the reusability of IP core and the difficulties of SoC integration in the application processing, and focusing on the realization methods of subjective quality evaluation and the strategies of objective quality evaluation, a combination of subjective and objective quality evaluation methods of IP core has been presented. A comprehensive and effective subjective platform for the IP core quality evaluation has been established, and an evaluation case for a digital-to-analog converter IP has been completed.
