Software Chip Design Method and Its Application

Software chip is designed to present a study software platform without support of hardware entity by simulating hardware chip operating function. The paper introduces the concept of software chip, and presents software chip design methods. When designing a software chip, specific and related things or controls are chosen to substitute for the abstract functions of the chip, and signal flow trend and corresponding output, following operating principle of the chip, will be designed in the style that functions of the chip are visually displayed on the action of virtual input controls. Two different types of examples are presented to explain the design methods, and the mechanisms, functions and intuitive demonstration means of the example hardware chips are analyzed and all these by software simulation are realized.
