Abstract

This paper presents a prototyping environment suited to fast identify, trim and verify a digital sensor interface in the automotive field, and to make early performance evaluations before proceed towards the final ASIC product. The overall platform is composed by hardware blocks and software tools suitable for the design space exploration, while a proper verification methodology is being adopted to guarantee the correct system behavior. In order to tune the platform architecture with an application case and at the same time to demonstrate its flexibility, two case examples are being examined.
