    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of on-chip identification circuitry. In one embodiment, pairs of conductors (e.g., metal pads, vias, lines) are formed within one or more metallization layers. The distance between the conductors in each pair is predetermined so that, given known across chip line variations, there is a random chance (i.e., an approximately 50/50 chance) of a short. In another embodiment different masks form first conductors (e.g., metal lines separated by varying distances and having different widths) and second conductors (e.g., metal vias separated by varying distances and having equal widths). The first and second conductors alternate across the chip. Due to the different separation distances and widths of the first conductors, the different separation distances of the second conductors and, random mask alignment variations, each first conductor can short to up to two second conductors. In each embodiment the resulting pattern of shorts and opens, can be used as an on-chip identifier or private key.

    摘要: The embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus, method, etc. for a task based debugger (transaction-event-job-trigger). More specifically, an integrated event monitor for a SOC comprises functional cores each having a functional debug logic element. The cores are connected to an interconnect structure that links the functional debug logic elements. Each functional debug logic element is specifically dedicated to a function of its corresponding core, wherein the functional debug logic elements generate a table of function-specific system events. The system events are function-specific with respect to an associated core, wherein the system events include transaction events, controller events, processor events, interconnect structure arbiter events, interconnect interface core events, high speed serial link core events, and/or codec events.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system-on-chip (SOC) structure that allows for automated integration of multiple intellectual cores. The SOC structure incorporates a plurality of cells connected to a common bus on a chip. Each cell incorporates a functional core and an automated integration unit (AIU) connected to the functional core. Each AIU communicates integration information for its functional core over the common bus to the AIUs in the other cells. The exchange of information between the AIUs is controlled either by the integration units themselves or by a controller. Based on received integration information, each AIU can automatically make any required configuration adjustments for integration. Furthermore, based on this exchange of information, the functional cores can interact, as necessary, during SOC operation. Also disclosed are an associated method of forming such a SOC structure and a design structure for such an SOC structure.
