TrustMe-ViP: trusted personal devices virtual prototyping
|
As the market continues to push for higher performance at lower cost, trusted personal devices (TPDs) must also be able to exchange greater volumes of data, voice or streaming video at ever higher bit rates, while transmitting and receiving securely under multiple telecommunication standards. Reductions in cost and time-to-market can only be achieved by integrating the complete system design including such aspects as the antenna and the packaging. The TrustMe-ViP project is part of a larger CIM-PACA (Centre Intégré de Microélectronique Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur) initiative that has developed a virtual RF system-level design platform, and it is specifically dedicated to the design of complex TPD systems. It provides a unified EDA framework that features multiple simulation engines based around dedicated hierarchical model libraries available for multiple levels of abstraction. The benefits and structure of this methodology are described here and illustrated by way of the example of a Bluetooth transceiver design.
