We designed an ALU(Airthmetic Logic Unit) with BIST(Built-In Self Test), which is suitable for 32-bit DSP RISC processors. We minimized the area of this ALU by allowing different operations to share several hardware blocks. Moreover, we applied DFT(Design for Testability) to ALU and offered Bist(Built-In Self-Test) function. BIST is composed of pattern generation and response analysis. We used the reseeding method and testability design for the high fault coverage. These techniques reduce the test length. Chip's reliability is improved by testing and the cost of testing system can be reduced.

In this paper, the instruction set and the architecture of a RISC processor for programmable logic controller is suggested. From the measurement of existing programs, the characteristics of ladder instructions are analyzed. The instruction set is defined so that the existing ladder program can be reused with simple translation. Because bit instructions controls the behavior of word instructions, the processor suits for high level language like SFC. Simulations show that the PLC with the suggested processor is twenty times faster than the PLC with the multi-purpose microprocessor.

Processors require both intensive and extensive functional verification in their design phase due to their general purpose. The proposed random vector verification method for embedded control RISC cores meets this goal by contributing assistance for conventional methods. The proposed method proved its effectiveness during the design of CalmRISCTM-32 developed by Yonsei Univ. and Samsung. It adopts a cycle-accurate instruction level simulator as a reference model, runs simulation in both the reference and the target HDL and reports errors if any difference is found between them. Consequently, it successfully covers errors designers easily pass over and establishes other new error check points.

최근 EDA 툴의 기술적인 향상과 반도체 공정의 발달로 IC 설계자들은 RISC 프로세서, DSP 프로세서, 메모리 등 많은 IP가 하나로 집적되는 SoC구조가 가능해졌다. 하지만 기존에 사용되는 대부분의 SoC는 공유버스 구조를 가지고 있어, 병목현상이 발생하는 문제점을 가진다. 이러한 문제점은 SoC 내부의 IP들이 많을수록 SoC 플랫폼의 전체 성능이 저하되어, CPU 자체의 속도보다는 효율적인 통신에 의해 성능이 좌우된다. 본 논문에서는 공유버스의 단점인 병목현상을 줄이고 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 크로스바 스위치버스 구조를 제안한다. OpenRISC 프로세서, VGA/LCD 제어기, AC97 제어기, 디버그 인터페이스, 메모리 인터페이스로 구성되는 SoC 플랫폼의 WISHBONE 온칩 공유버스 구조와 크로스바 스위치 버스 구조의 성능을 비교한 결과, 기존의 공유버스보다 26.58%의 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes on-chip instruction and data cache memories on RISC reduced instruction set computer) architecture which supports fast instruction fetch and data read/write, and enables RISC processor under research to obtain high performance. In the execution of HLL(high level language) programs, heavily used local scalar variables are stored in large register file, but arrays, structures, and global scalar variables are difficult for compiler to allocate registers. These problems can be solved by on-chip Instruction/Data cache. And each cycle of instruction fetch, pad delay causes the lowering of the processors's performance. Cache memories are designed in CMOS technology and SRAM(static-RAM), that saves layout area and power dissipation, is used for instruction and data storage. To speed up and support RISC processor's piplined architecture efficiently, hardwired logic technology is used overall circuits i cache blocks. The schematic capture and timing simulation of proposed cache memorises are performed on Apollo DN4000 workstation using Mentor Graphics CAD tools.

This paper proposes a SOC platform which is eligible for education and application SOC design. The platform, fully synthesizable and reconfigurable, includes the OpenRISC embedded processor, some basic peripherals such as GPIO, UART, debug interlace, VGA controller and WISHBONE interconnect. The platform uses a set of development environment such as compiler, assembler, debugger and RTOS that is built for HW/SW system debugging and software development. Designed SOC, IPs and Testbenches are described in the Verilog HDL and verified using commercial logic simulator, GNU SW development tool kits and the FPGA. Finally, a multimedia SOC derived from the SOC platform is implemented to ASIC using the Magnachip cell library based on 0.18um 1-poly 6-metal technology.
