The Design And Implementation Of Security Ic Card /key SoC Verification Platform

With the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, SoC technology become one of the most widely used technology. SoC makes IC design more complex. Because market competition is fierce, SoC products require performance requirements, low cost and short time to market. In this case, the accuracy and reliability of the chip are facing enormous challenges. Therefore, validate SoC designs become a crucial task. In the current SoC chip design process, verify account for most of the time and resources, in particular, functional verification has a heavy workload. Verification platform technology is a design services for the verification of SoC technology, it can be completed well in a variety of SoC design verification work to improve design efficiency and shorten design time, but also the accuracy and reliability of the chip to provide effective protection. As the complexity of SoC chip, verification platform technology has become one of the most difficult, most challenging issues.This paper introduces a class of information security SoC chip design verification platform that addresses the specific problems of the actual project, but also on SoC verification technology was the subject deeper exploration. Paper topic belongs to a class of models of information security SoC chip design as part of the project, is responsible for SoC chip functional verification and authentication methods in.First, the paper analyzes the basic structure of current SoC chip and chip design process, full understanding of SoC chip architecture is verification platform to build a good foundation. SoC is based on the basic structure of the chip bus structure, almost all of the SoC chips are based on bus architecture, but this does not mean the same chip, SoC, SoC chip has a rich diversity. Second, the paper studied the current widely used authentication methods and technologies, and its classification comparison, the platform for the flexible design of the application and selection of these authentication methods, a variety of current industry validation methods, different chip design stage of the authentication methods also varied, so how to choose the right platform for an effective verification method also requires careful analysis and consideration. Third, verification platform design, this verification platform is based on the hardware and software co-verification and transaction authentication methods and simulation, full consideration of the SoC chip bus architecture that is common, so the reusability of the platform is very good. At the same time, the platform also has the particularity of the chip innovative design, highly targeted. In well-designed, the platform can be configured and a high degree of automation for SoC functional correctness and reliability of the chip to provide a strong guarantee and improve the design efficiency.Thesis research work conducted in the following innovative research:First, SoC functional verification platform architecture design, through a variety of SoC chip SoC design, structure and validation requirements in the study of the structure of the verification platform designed to enable it to adapt to the majority of the validation of SoC chips can be high degree of reuse.Second, while supporting hardware and software co-verification and transaction-level simulation method, the research on a variety of authentication methods, the design of the platform, it supports hardware and software co-verification and transaction-level simulation verification capability, the two methods were in different situations have important applications, but also due to increased level of abstraction to verify the effect of the efficiency is very good.Third. High degree can be configured in the SoC chip verification process, different stages require different verification environment, and authentication, or authentication at the same stage of validation of different modules also need to change part of the verification environment. In this verification platform can be easily configured to use the authentication platform for different situations.Fourth, the high degree of automation in the SoC functional verification there is a lot of duplication of work, this verification platform has highly automated operational capabilities, to help verify the staff to complete the work group, to verify the save a lot of time. Fifth, support for dynamic timing simulation, functional verification platform in addition to complete the simulation, but also enables the dynamic simulation netlist verification is required, that is after the simulation phase.Sixth, information security, a special class of SoC chip functional verification, as this paragraph is safe class SoC chip, chip, it has many encryption module to ensure the accuracy and reliability of specific modules is very important for verification platform that was specially designed .In short, the paper the basic structure of the full study and a large SoC verification method based on the design of a highly configurable, high degree of automation, re-usable SoC functional verification platform for SoC verification method also conducted in-depth exploration and research. The success of SoC silicon chip has been verified in the design process platform has played an important role.
