Specification of interface components for synchronous data paths
P. Gutberlet, Wolfgang Rosenstiel · 1994
The simulation semantics of VHDL necessitates the specification of the interface signal transitions at bit level with exact timing which is not well suited for abstract specification and synthesis. This paper shows a methodology to model the interface of a behavioural description suited for high level synthesis where different abstraction levels are separated. It shows the transformations to generate a RT data path while homing the exact simulation semantics at the interface.
