Question

Part II: 65 points (plug in your own RTL from the design in homework) Your tasks: most important for grading) 1. (40 points) Low Power Design Multi-core CPU with system bus and PMU: Integrate your RTL included CPUs (multi-core), system bus, shared memory, PMU, and other modules if applicable; and verify with simulation. a. Please explain how your verification worked and along with waveform (zoom-in clearly) b. Your multi-core CPU TB should, at least, include following cases: Test credit Function Case s Single core executes all the required commands and forms a 1 loop all the cores perform interleave-access to memory via yoursystem 2 bus. That is, more than one cores request to access memory 3 clearly show how your bus "arbitration" and "buffering" work Implement an interrupt signalfrom mastercore to othercoresand stop all the running tasks. (make it ready for poweroff) Hint, the 4 interrupt will change your FSM or controllerin your core Implementan adapter between system bus and serial interface of 5 PMU, so that, at least a mastercore can program your PMU 10

Explanation / Answer

highly-integrated multi-channel system power management solutions to meet the performance, efficiency, and feature requirements of next-generation portable and fixed electronics. IDT’s PMIC solutions help system designers reduce bill-of-materials (BOM), overcome thermal dissipation challenges, simplify PCB routing, and improve monitoring and control capabilities.

Intelligent, Scalable, Distributed Power Management for Portable Multi-core Processors

The new IDT P9145 is a scalable, programmable, multi-channel PMIC solution specifically designed to support the power management requirements of next-generation Intel® Atom™ SoC (22nm and smaller). The P9145 supports IDT’s patented intelligent, scalable, distributed power sources, enabling a system designers increase the PMIC’s output current capability to meet the demands of the application. The companion IDT P9147 external power sources provide up to 6 A of additional peak current each. This feature minimizes development risk by ensuring that the PMIC solution is capable and optimized to meet the SoC’s evolving power requirements. In addition, the modular nature of the add-on power modules offers tremendous flexibility for point-of-load regulation, circuit board routing and thermal distribution.
