Pipeline stage-level simulation method for self-timed data-driven processor on FPGA
Abstract:
This paper describes an FPGA circuit simulation
method for self-timed data-driven processor with ultra-low-power
real-time multiprocessing capability preferable to IoT systems. To
avoid the do-overs of circuit design, the processors performance
should be verified, in early design phase, against a given target.
Although this processor is realized by an asynchronous circuit,
most FPGA devices are oriented to clock-synchronized circuits
and their CAD tools have no support for such high level
verification. Conventionally, a gate-level simulation with actual
circuit delay information is used as a substitute; however, it lacks
flexibility and is becoming unavailable. Already, asynchronous
circuit design methods for FPGA have been proposed, but they
are primarily focused on circuit implementation and optimization.
In this paper, we propose a high level simulation method to
provide RTL simulation with stage-by-stage data transfer timing,
and we show the proposed simulation can achieve the early design
phase verification with a sufficient accuracy.
