Development of Digital Signal Processing IC Using Software Simulation System

Abstract

We have developed a software simulation system' It was developed for designing digital signal processing IC of video movie camera and it can simulate behavior model and RTL model. It includes frame memory unit, EWS and TV monitor' Frame memory unit is used for storing data of CCD imager's signal. Software simulation of camera signal process is executed on EWS and we can estimate simulation result using TV monitor' Also this system includes tools for estimating function of circuit. Using this system, we have developed a digital signal processing IC in a short term without making prototype set.
