摘要
In this paper, we propose a method of mixed-level cosimulation that that enables gradual refinement of SoC communication from protocol-neutral communication to protocol-fixed communication. For fine granularity in refinement, the method enables the designer to perform channel refinement and module refinement. Thus, the design can perform more extensive design space exploration in communication refinement. We show the effectiveness of the prosposed method in a case study of communication refinement in an IS-95 CDMA cellular phone system design.
