摘要:
A database, in which data is stored in a flexibly usable state, is provided for use in the design of an integrated circuit device, and a method for designing an integrated circuit device using such a database is also provided. A design environment includes: a virtual core database (VCDB), which is hierarchical design data storage; and a virtual core database management system (VCDBMS) as a control system. The VCDB includes architecture information and a VC cluster. The VC cluster includes: a specification VC for storing therein data at a specification level; an architecture VC for storing therein data at an architectural level; an RTL-VC for storing therein data at a register transfer level; and a performance index used for evaluating the performance of the respective VCs. By providing these VCs for respective layers, new VCs can be generated, data within the VCs can be modified and instances can be generated at the respective levels. As a result, the data can be used flexibly and recycled as well.

An encryption process is employed in the LSI design so as to improve confidentiality of the circuit design data over conventional examples. In the encryption process, confidential circuit design data is encrypted to produce encrypted design data and a cipher key. The encrypted design data is provided to the user who conducts a design/verification process. The key is also provided as required. In the design/verification process, the encrypted design data is subjected to various processes without disclosing the contents of the original circuit. In a decoding process, the encrypted design data subjected to the design/verification process is decoded to produce original circuit design data.
摘要:
Information about an exclusive operation among a plurality of blocks and interconnection information about a sharable resource within each of these blocks are defined. Based on the sharable resource information and the inter-block exclusive operation information, a resource sharable among the blocks is extracted. Module specifications, in which information about interfaces, power dissipation, operation models and top-level hierarchy interconnection is stored, exclusive operation information describing an exclusive operation rule among the blocks, and prioritized function information used for preventing respective functions from being enabled at the same time are input to an generator, which is an automatic generating tool. In this manner, a power and clock management module for use in power save management, a wrapper bank select module storing interconnection information, a shared resource module storing information about a sharable resource and an optimized top-level hierarchy module storing interconnection information about an optimized top-level hierarchy are generated. Downsizing and power saving are realized by resource sharing and power management.

摘要:
A conveyor chain constructed so as to prevent a leakage of lubricant oil to the outside. The conveyor chain comprises a plurality of bearing elements operable to revolve in a raceway between an outer circumferential surface of a bush and an inner circumferential surface of a roller. A pair of right and left thrust bearing annular members are press-fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the bush and are positioned between the inner side surface of an inner link plate and the outwardly-facing end surfaces of the bearing elements. Annular sealing members for sealing lubricant oil within bearing element raceway are disposed between the inner circumferential surface of the roller and an inner circumferential surface of the thrust bearing annular member. The sealing members slidably contact but are not deformed by the inner circumferential surface of the roller.

In a set device having a card host LSI, high-speed data transmission to a removable card or the like is realized without hindering a reduction in size and weight. The card host LSI and the removable card are connected to a card bus complying with predetermined card bus specifications. A microcomputer module and the card host LSI are connected also by a card bus complying with the predetermined card bus specifications.
