Abstract

As the complexity of IC design has increased, a trend to include ever larger portions of functionality on a single chip has been observed. Programs that once would have been considered ‘software’ are now encoded directly into memory within the chip structure. In the past a processor core was used which was controlled by discrete components elsewhere on the same circuit board. Extensive software support in form of compilers, assemblers, and simulators was also encoded into chips separate from the processor. Today these components, as well as peripheral modules (e.g., UART-serial interface, and PIO-parallel input/output interface) are used frequently in so called ‘embedded processors’. These discrete components are inserted block by block directly into the circuit during the design phase.
