Benefits of HLS and rapid prototyping in the integrated complex circuits design loop

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an integrated circuit application based on high level specification of VHDL description. This presentation gives a comprehensive description of different synthesis steps using a design of a real time example: the Multi-Recommendations-Modem (MRM). The design flow includes all steps from High Level Synthesis up to rapid prototyping. In this respect, architectural, logical and physical synthesis are performed in the synthesis steps. The application consists of the securing implementation function of a MRM in emission mode. The system includes three hardware parts: encoder, digital modulator and synchronization signal generator.
