The SoC system, SHU-MV08, reuses four new intellectual property （IP） cores and the design flow is accomplished with 0.35 btm chartered CMOS technology. Some special functions of IP cores, the detailed integration scheme of four IP cores, and the verification method of the entire SoC are presented. To settle the verification problems brought by analog IP cores, NanoSim based chip-level mixed-signal verification method is introduced. The verification time is greatly reduced and the first tape-out achieves success which proves the validity of our design.展开更多

文摘We investigate the structure of rings over which every finitely generated g- supplemented module is supplemented. Some characterizations of this type of rings are given. We establishe some properties of ⊙-δ-supplemented modules. It is showed that for a ring R, finitely generated δ-supplemented R-modules are supplemented if and only if finitely generated ⊙-δ-supplemented R-modules are ⊙-supplemented.
