melopas

				Summary MELOPAS  objective is to develop and test a methodology and tools that can guarantee through system level analysis that mixed mode signal ASIC with embedded micro-processor will obtain the target power consumption specification. The partners, Schlumberger, XEMICS and CSEM, will closely collaborate to select modelling languages, design flow and simulation tools to evaluate at the system simulation the power consumption of mixed mode ASICs. MELOPAS will be validated through the design of a new ASIC. Measurements on PC Boards will be correlated with system level analysis. The different stages of MELOPAS and its efficiency will be disseminated. Co-simulation based on CoolRISC development tools Power models of the CoolRISC core and memories Power model templates for digital / analog peripherals including documentation, a graphical tool to present the power statistics of each ASIC block as a function of time or of the specific location in the application program. Publication on methodology Power consumption measurements of CoolRISC and its peripherals Effectiveness of the methodology : Precision of the simulations compared to measured power consumption figures of ASIC. Objectives XEMICS' objective is to develop a methodology to evaluate the' power consumption of a complex ASIC early on in the design flow. CSEM's objective is to develop a hardware/software' co-simulation tool. Schlumberger 's objective is to quickly achieve a drastic' reduction on the power consumption of electronic equipment.   Participants Schlumberger (F), CSEM (CH), XEMICS (CH) Design Story Public Deliverables
