Presentation #9: Smart Cart 525 Idongesit Ebong (1-1)Jenna Fu (1-2)Bowei Gai (1-3)Syed Hussain (1-4)Jonathan Lee (1-5)Design Manager: Myron Kwai Overall Project Objective: Design a chip as part of a system that accommodates the growing demand for radio frequency identification (RFID) technology while creating a quicker, more convenient shopping experience. Stage IX: 16 Mar. 2005 Chip Level Layout
Status • Design Proposal • Project chosen • Verilog obtained/modified • Architecture Proposal • Behavioral Verilog simulated • Size estimates/floorplanning • Gate-level implementation simulated in Verilog • Floorplan and more accurate transistor count • Schematic Design • Component Layout • Functional Block Layout • DRC of functional blocks • LVS of functional blocks • Chip Level Layout (98.56% Done) • 3 Main blocks (each block LVSes) • Full chip LVS • Simulations
Design Decisions • Decided to route more wires over the SBOX and use metal 4 to reach registers on the right • Move items in the encryption block higher up and redesign SBOX logic
Problems & Questions • Registers problematic • How can we make the chip smaller? • Re-doing many of the blocks, learn from previous mistakes. • Reset signal strength and buffer size needed for it. • White space reduction • Simulations take a long time.
