Design and Implementation of a Peripheral Bus Based on a New Kind of Reconfigurable System

Reconfigurable system-on-a-chip(SoC) is an important trend of embedded system. It is not only to achieve a higher performance but also flexible enough. In this paper a new kind of reconfigurable system using SoP(System on a Package) technology is presented and a new kind of peripheral bus which is used to form a whole system architecture is proposed based on the reconfigurable system. Using this peripheral bus, we can form a new embedded system easily by changing different intellectual property(IP) cores. We can make the whole system much more smaller, higher levels of integration, lower costs and lower power by using this chip and the peripheral bus. Compare with the earlier system, the new system using the reconfigurable chip which is of the same function is much smaller and lighter. All these are very suitable for small satellites and consumer electronics.
