Embodiment
The method of the invention of Fig. 1, its step is as follows:
The first step of embodiment is that the applied SOC design object of reset circuit is analyzed, and analyzing content mainly is that 3 aspects such as SOC circuit structure, SOC specific design factor, SOC reset circuit mode of operation are considered.Wherein clock zone situation, the reset circuit that need analyze SOC to the analysis content of SOC circuit structure analyzed in the distribution situation of SOC; SOC specific design factor need be analyzed the type of spendable library unit, and " X " attitude phenomenon is to the consideration of simulating, verifying in the simulating, verifying, and reset signal is analyzed three aspects that influence of physical Design; SOC reset circuit mode of operation need be to be operated in synchronously or asynchronous system the reset circuit of SOC, and the interface annoyance level of the reset signal of SOC is analyzed.
Second step of embodiment is that basis is classified to the analysis content of SOC, and the type of the reset circuit that is applicable to SOC that the present invention proposes mainly comprises the IP submodule of following 3 classes: SOC, is applicable to the SOC of full synchronous reset, the SOC of full asynchronous reset.Concrete sorting technique and step are as follows:
1) the IP submodule of SOC, be meant that can offer SOC does the integrated design submodule of System on Chip/SoC, consider from the SOC circuit structure, it is characterized in that clock zone is a single clock territory mode (if multi-clock zone, handle by the 3rd kind of mode), consider from the SOC mode of operation aspect that resets, it is characterized in that to adopt synchronous reset or asynchronous reset mode in the IP design of SOC integral reset working method decision SOC.
2) be applicable to the SOC of full synchronous reset, be meant according to the system applies specification requirements, the reseting terminal of chip works under the synchronous reset operator scheme fully, and the SOC that satisfies this classification mainly contains following 2 features: considering from the SOC circuit structure, is the single clock territory during SOC operate as normal; From the consideration to the SOC design process, if the reset terminal not by trigger resets, in carrying out simulation process, the emulation of " X " attitude might appear; Consider from the SOC mode of operation aspect that resets, when system-level application is used, the same clock source of other IC that reset signal resetted of this SOC and this SOC use.Design to this type of reset circuit needs reset circuit to solve: reseting terminal is subjected to the influence of factors such as external interference (synchro source switching noise, train of signal around); Reset signal does not satisfy the demand of setup/hold and the metastable state duty that causes; Reset circuit designs unreasonable " X attitude " problem that causes occurring in the design of Simulation.
3) SOC of full asynchronous reset is meant that the reset terminal of SOC works under the mode of operation of asynchronous reset.This type of SOC mainly contains following 2 characteristics: 1) from the SOC structure, SOC itself is the circuit of a multi-clock zone structure; SOC is the single clock circuit structure, but other IC that reset signal resetted of this SOC and this SOC use is not same clock source.2) from the mode of operation of SOC, the inside multi-clock zone module of SOC works in different resetting constantly, and SOC works in different resetting constantly when system works.The criteria for classification that inventive method proposed also shows, for most SOC designs, should use the working method of full asynchronous reset as far as possible.
The 3rd step of embodiment is that the sorting technique that is proposed according to summary of the invention part in the literary composition the 2nd step is described, if corresponding to the IP submodule of SOC, the reset circuit design method that should adopt summary of the invention part the 3rd joint to be adopted.Reset circuit adopts the reset circuit form (as Fig. 2) based on synchronous reset end or asynchronous reset end, consider the digital circuit part in present SOC design, normally on providing the basis of basic library unit, storehouse provider finishes the design of digital circuit, use based on the synchronous reset end of trigger or the reset mode of asynchronous reset end and can provide high-quality assurance as SOC design for Measurability and simulating, verifying, only the area to SOC has specific (special) requirements, on each trigger of SOC, all should have reseting terminal, if area is had specific (special) requirements, also should guarantee to realize resetting control at the synchronous reset end or the asynchronous reset end of the first order trigger of module.Fig. 3 is based on the trigger that the data input pin realization resets, if the schematic diagram of the phenomenon that don't-know state (' X ') transmits appears in Fig. 4 explanation when the reset mode that resets of the data input pin by SYN register might not cause gate leve emulation, this is because on the one hand, the reset signal of register and the data input signal of register can only work by the data input pin of register, make the reset signal of register could under the effect of clock signal, play reset response by certain combinational logic to register.On the other hand, the EDA synthesis tool is different with the logical value that emulation tool is considered, what synthesis tool used is two-valued function, and (i.e. only consideration ' 0 ' and ' 1 ' state, what emulation tool was then considered is multi valued logic.With Fig. 3 is example, in the starting stage, DC thinks that the output Q of register cell DFF1 is ' 0 ' or ' 1 ', therefore, and when RST=' 0 ', DFF2 must reset, yet emulation tool VCS thinks but that in the starting stage output Q of DFF1 is ' X ', therefore, when Reset=' 0 ', the output of DFF2 also is ' X '.Thereby cause at functional simulation during the stage, chip can't enter init state.Consider when using IP to carry out system combination, whole SOC might be the synchronous reset operator scheme, it also might be asynchronous reset operation element pattern, therefore, this IP need be designed to work in the synchronous reset operator scheme, also can work in the asynchronous reset operator scheme, its Verilog code is as follows respectively:
Always@ (posedge clk or negedge rst) // based on the reset circuit of asynchronous reset end
if(!rst)q<=1′b0;
else?q<=d;
endmodule
Always@ (posedge clk) // based on the reset circuit of synchronous reset end
if(!rst)q<=1′b0;
else?q<=d;
endmodule
The 4th step of embodiment is that the sorting technique that is proposed according to summary of the invention part in the literary composition the 2nd joint is described, if corresponding to the SOC that is applicable to full synchronous reset, and the reset circuit design method that should adopt summary of the invention part the 4th part to be adopted.Fig. 5 is the reset circuit form at this type of SOC design, to this type of SOC design, for fear of external interference, reseting terminal by a schmidt trigger circuit, delay cell and or door (low level resets, if high level resets, then will or door change into and door) enter reseting network, thereby utilize the hysteresis effect of schmidt trigger circuit can realize that shaping pulse effectively suppresses to disturb, utilize delay cell with or the acting in conjunction of door can the filtering unusual waveforms to the influence of reset circuit.The difficulty that " X attitude " (don't-know state) brings to simulating, verifying appears for fear of trigger resets the simulation process that causes by synchronous input end in, the principle that resets and all should reset of whole SOC in accordance with the synchronous reset terminal of use library unit, in the process of carrying out logic synthesis and physical Design, especially when handling the design of 1,000,000 gate leve ASIC, because the fan-out number that its global reset signal drove is just quite high, need carry out particular design, the better physical synthesis tool is as (PC) at present, the method of handling the high fan-out network of this class is provided, the deviser is when carrying out logical level comprehensive, set_ideal_net can be set to ideal signal with global reset signal with order, when the completion logic rank is comprehensive, by physical synthesis instrument create_buffer_tree, finish the physical synthesis of reset signal network.
The 5th step of embodiment is that the sorting technique that is proposed according to summary of the invention part in the literary composition the 2nd joint is described, if corresponding to the SOC that is applicable to full asynchronous reset, and the reset circuit design method that should adopt summary of the invention part the 2nd joint to be adopted.Consideration mainly contains: reseting terminal is subjected to the influence of factors such as external interference (synchro source switching noise, train of signal around); Reset signal fails to satisfy the requirement of recovery time of asynchronous reset end when resetting release, thus the metastable state duty that causes; The disorder of the logical circuit work schedule of the inconsistent different clock-domains that causes of the moment of the release signal arrival different clock-domains trigger of reset signal; Influence in SOC design processes such as SOC measurability, logic synthesis, physical Design.
To this type of SOC circuit, can further be subdivided into following two classes: there is arbitrated logic in each clock zone circuit, and reset signal discharges the whether orderly operate as normal that can not influence whole SOC constantly; The initialization of each clock zone circuit must have the branch of priority constantly.To the 1st kind of SOC, adopt the reset circuit form of Fig. 6, the reseting terminal of this circuit by a schmidt trigger circuit, delay cell and or door (low level resets, if high level resets, then will or the door change into the door) function mainly be for suppressing the influence of various undesired signals, after this processing of circuit, reset signal is re-used as the clear terminal of two other synchronizer trigger, the output of these two triggers enters reseting network after being connected to multi-way switch (MUX), is to avoid the metastable state phenomenon that occurred when reset signal discharges through the benefit of synchronizer trigger.The function that multi-way switch possessed that increases can realize the design for Measurability of VLSI is convenient in the direct bypass of the output terminal of reset signal slave flipflop.Fig. 7 is a kind of synchronization device of canonical form, can weaken the influence of metastable state phenomenon significantly.To second kind of SOC, circuit start has the strict sequential order requirement in each clock zone, at this situation, provided the reset circuit form of Fig. 8, compare with Fig. 6, its difference with the strict sequential order control that can realize that each clock zone circuit reset starts, SOC research staff can select corresponding reset circuit layout strategy and circuit form according to the circuit structure and the real work situation in the circuit clock territory of designed SOC.
