Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a soft IP generator which can add or remove PCM codec modules arbitrarily. It can be applied to PCM codec IP designs that need to change their related modules, corresponding to different working environments. It also can help us to easily manage our soft IP modules, produce optimized modules, and remove unnecessary modules, in order to reduce the implementation cost. In addition, users can implement their own Verilog HDL code of PCM codec by following our predefined interface specification, and integrate it with our optimal PCM codec module to produce the users´ own optimized system.
