Title
ASIP-eFPGA Architecture for Multioperable GNSS Receivers
Abstract
In this paper a novel flexible architecture exemplarily applied for multioperable GNSS receivers including an ASIP and an arithmetic oriented embedded FPGA is presented. The advent of next generation GNSS-systems as well as different demands in different system phases require high flexibility. The proposed architecture provides high energy and area efficiency compared to software-programmable processor while preserving flexibility. Exemplarily the mapping of the computational intensive base band processing of a Navstar GPS receiver to an ASIP-eFPGA architecture will be discussed. Results are based on a standard cell based design regarding the ASIP. A design method for physically optimized VLSI-macros has been applied for the implementation of the eFPGA. All results are acquired for a 90 nm-CMOS technology. It will be shown that the proposed heterogeneous architecture features an attractive position in the design space regarding area and energy efficiency as well as flexibility.
