Design and Integrate Real Time Clock and Temperature Digital Signal Processing with ARM System

Abstract

The integrated circuit had been developed rapidly from microprocessor to microcontroller and System-on-Chip (SoC) just happen within a few decade. The development is continuing as the demand for the functionality increase. The Real Time Clock (RTC) is one of the peripherals most widely used inside the microcontroller. Besides, when Moore’s law is still applied, the number of transistor will increase, so does the temperature. Thus, the temperature digital signal processing (TDSP) unit had become an important peripheral to monitor the system-on-chip temperature. In this paper, these two Intellectual Property which are RTC and TDSP are designed and integrated into ARM system. The system architecture and implementation strategies are discussed. The results were run and simulated in the Synopsys software.
