Description of the Invention (1) Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to the field of integrated circuit design, especially the memory included in the integrated circuit using predetermined modules. ¥ Design. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Data processing systems require increasing numbers of high-performance memory subsystems to provide data storage and data circulation set by system design constraints. For example, the image controller needs a large amount of memory to increase with the sun. Work under high frequency to support high-resolution display and complex image expression functions. The increasing capacity of integrated circuits (ICs) using very large integrated circuits (VLSI) allows functions previously achieved by several discrete chips to be built into a single chip. It can provide significant performance improvements as well as increased reliability and lower system costs. Building the memory in the same chip that accesses the memory provides similar advantages. Electronic design automation (EDA) systems are commonly used to design ICs. This system allows the designer to specify and simulate the design work before the IC is manufactured. Many of the functions of the E DA system also include the function of storing memory into an IC with many different functions. Unfortunately, known design systems provide only a limited amount of DR A M memory that can be incorporated into a design. As a result, IC designs may need to be compromised or changed to match the size of available DRAM memory. For example, a larger D R AM module may be necessary. The result is a part of the DRAM, that is, a part of the IC, which will be useless, so that the chip space that might have been used for other purposes is wasted. Alternatively, design--^^ 1 d I 士 ^ m 1 ^ 1 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page). This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297mm)-4- Λ3 67 ^ A7 ___B7___ 5. Description of the Invention (2) It may be changed to use the available DRA M, but this leads to the complexity of the design by allowing the size of the available DR AM module to control other parts of the IC. Therefore, there is a need for an improved system and method for incorporating D RAM into an integrated circuit design. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention advantageously facilitates the integration of DRMA into a integrated circuit design. In the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of predetermined modules are provided to allow an IC designer to select an appropriate module to design a DR A M having the capacity and functional characteristics specified by the designer. In this way, embodiments of the present invention advantageously allow an IC designer to design a DRA M that meets the requirements of a specific design and design it in an I c instead of forcing the designer to change the design of I c or use additional chips Space to use special pre-defined D RAM modules. In a preferred embodiment, an EDA system is provided that contains a number of DRAMs that can be selected by the IC designer to designate an IC chip. The Central Standards Bureau Employee Consumer Cooperative Printed (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) to order the module. The predetermined module may include a plurality of core cells that can be grouped into different configurations so as to specify a D RAM having a column number, a row number, and a word length specified by a designer.

Column decoder 2 The 26 receives the address line from the address input buffer in the M ISC cell and decodes the address line to select one of a plurality of columns in each core cell of a DRA M module. In a read operation, each bit in the selected column is read into the appropriate BL S.A cell 2 2 8. In a read operation *, each bit in BL S A cell 28 is written to the selected column. The column decoder module 2 2 6 should select one of the 2 5 6 columns. The row decoder 2 2 4 receives the row address lines from the address input buffer contained in the M ISC cell and decodes the address lines to be selectively stored in the BLS.

Twelve types of DRAM 3 02 Each of them uses the same M ISC module 2 2 2, the same row decoder module 2 2 4, the same BLSA228 and the same BSD218. Line decoder module 224 (co 1_64) Choose one from 64 lines, and each module of this paper is also applicable to Chinese national standards (CMS > Α4 specification (2 丨 〇 X 297 mm) -13- A7 4367 1 7 B7___ V. Description of the invention (11) 2 2 4 Covers 2-bit wire pairs. The column decoder module 2 2 6 and 1 // 〇 module 2 2 0 are changed due to the selected core cells. Yes 'The number of columns in the core cell determines the width of the column decoder core cell 2 2 6 and the width of the I / ◦ module 2 2 0. For example' Core with 2 5 6 columns _ 2 5 6 modules will require one 2 5 6-bit wide column decoder module. The storage capacity of DRAM 3 0 2 in Fig. 3 can be increased or decreased by adding or subtracting the sub module 3 0 3. For example, DRA M 3 The capacity of 0 2 can be enlarged by adding sub-modules 3 0 3 to provide five sub-modules 3 0 3 (instead of the four shown) on either side of Misc module 3 1 8 , Or the capacity of DRAM302 can be reduced by subtracting the submodule 3 ◦ 3 to provide three, two or one submodule 3 03 on either side of the Misc module 3 1 8. But The secondary module does not need to be symmetrical with module 3 1 8. DRAM3 0 2 The assignment is conventional. DRAM3 0 2 is addressed by address lines coupled to the address input buffer contained in the M ISC cell 3 1 8. The address input buffer provides column and row address lines to the row decoder 3 1 0 and column decoders 3 1 4. Column decoder 3 4 selects one of the 2 5 6 columns in each core cell 3 0 4. The data stored in each row in the selected column is extracted from the core cell 3 Read in 0 4 and send it to the bit line sense amplifier 3 1 0. In a read operation, the row decoder 3 1 8 selects a line so that the data in the appropriate bit line sense amplifier is passed through the I / O Cell 3 1 6 is output from DRAM. The data contained in BLSA 3 1 0 is then written to the column selected by the column decoder.
