摘要: The next generation memory, Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM), is a high-profile choice of embedded memory in modern applications. Features of the novel memory make it suitable for universal memory applications. Besides, as the evolution of information technology, embedded systems with media applications for portable devices are more important in modern life. In both of the perspectives mentioned above, a processing element called Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) cluster Intellectual Property (IP) is designed and implemented to be integrated with MRAM and the platform baseboard in this work. To stack these components such as an ALU cluster, MRAM and versatile baseboard provides a development, verification and demonstration platform for the highly-expected MRAM. The proposed ALU cluster IP with Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) interface is taped out using TSMC 0.15um technology and operates at 100MHz. The chip area is 3.9*3.9 mm(2) and gate count is 0.2 million. A 4-layer FRP printed circuit board (PCB) is designed and fabricated as the daughter card for system integration. The daughter card carries the designed chip is integrated to ARM versatile platform board and the PCB of MRAM as the system integration and application development environment.
