ASIC implementation of an ARM - based system on chip

Abstract

This paper presents the hardware architecture of a System on Chip (SoC) implemented in an ASIC. It has been designed for a wide range of applications and will be used in a power line modem. A set of reusable cells based on AMBA standard has been also designed, included memory, interrupt controller and peripherals. Presented architecture implements an ARM© processor, a 32-bit RISC processor which is becoming a RISC standard.
