Abstract

Reusing IPs requires interface protocol related tasks such as writing test benches and designing interface protocol conversion circuits, e.g. wrappers for IPs. The results of those tasks usually include IPC(interface protocol component)s for the corresponding IPs, similar to bus protocol components of the bus functional models. This paper proposes a methodology for the interface circuit design using synthesizable IPC that can be re-used. IPC recognizes or executes transactions over the given interface ports. So we present a transaction-oriented interface protocol description language, and a method to convert the description into an IPC in synthesizable VHDL code. With experiments, we show that the interface design using IPC does not cause significant area overhead compared with the interface design without IPC. The proposed IPC-based approach can be employed to reduce the interface design time since the designers can reuse IPCs without understanding the detailed interface protocols.
