基于SiliconBackPlane平台的机顶盒soc设计 　　摘要:随着IC技术的发展,利用IP库为机顶盒芯片提供了一个完美的解决方案。单片soc相比以前的芯片组解决方案具有很多直接的优势,比如能耗和面积。该文尝试利用SiliconBackPlane 平台来设计了一种机顶盒的soc。首先,建立了机顶盒soc体系的数据流图,进行了系统划分,诸如,CPU,DSP,存储单元及其他的一些数字模块。然后,利用SiliconBackPlane平台完成soc的片上总线设计,以适应不同模块的通信带宽。最后,进行了简短的分析。 　　关键词:IP库;机顶盒soc;片上总线 　　中图分类号:TN492文献标识码:A文章编号:1009-3044(2010)13-3548-02 　　A Set-top Box Soc Design using SiliconBackPlane 　　CHEN Xiang-yang, ZHANG Zheng-ping 　　(Key Lab of Micro-electro Software Technology, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China) 　　Abstract: With the improvement of IC technology, IP library other than cell library provide a excellent solution for set-box soc ,one soc solution have many advantages than traditional chip set solution, such as power and area. This article tries to design a set-top box soc using Sonics SiliconBackPlane. First,constructing dataflow of the soc, partitioning the system with several necessary function blocks, such as CPU, DSP, memory, and other digital parts of the set-top-box soc. Then, in order to make every part work well, Sonics SiliconBackPlane was used as the on-chip interconnect platform to meet various partss bandwidth. In the end, a short analysis was given. 　　Key words: IP library; set-box soc; on-chip interconnect 　　With the progress in communicating, and video and image process, the set-top box, due to soc technology, will take on the medium of multimedia and information superways in the future. The soc of set-top box shown in Fig. 1 is used as an example. 　　The video or audio digital signals come from the RF-module or from the hard-disk, A decryption unit is used to decrypt encrypted video streams. Then the signal can either be shown on a TV screen or saved to the hard-disk. 　　1 SoC design 　　Today’s circuits for Set Top Box applications is of high integration, Chip complexity is in the range of 8 Million synthesizable gates and 3 Mbits of embedded static RAM memory. Main clock frequency is 200MHz and circuits are organized around an internal
